Hope this is in the right section. Can anyone tell me how to do a decent headlight alignment on the wall. Its been years since i did this and don't see much on the internet except for newer cars or buying a 3 or 4 hundred dollar kit. I need to do my 74 without getting into trigonomety or calculus. I ain't got nothin but good answers here so far so I figured this is the place.
thanks guys
Lance

maybe this will help ya out;

Now the dimensions you use to mark the wall are based on measurments taken from your car that are transfered to the wall...for example line # 4 would corespond with the center of your car....line # 3 & 5 would correspond with the verticle center of your headlights...etc...

Make sure the car is on a level floor. Don't have one wheel in the slope of the floor going to a drain.
