Default Headlight door adjustment

I noticed one of my headlight doors on my 77 sits a little further into the oppening verses the other which is correct and flush. Is there an adjustment for this?

thanks

Yes there is an adjustment screw - can be reached frm under the front of the car - in most cases you do not need to jack the car up to get to it, but get a flash light, shine it straight up at the headlight assemply and you will see the adjusting screw. If I can find a diagram I will post it - I took a red paint pin and marked mine. Wait until you are sure the vacumm has released all the pressure before you adjust (3 or 4 mins) after you shut the car off.

Here's a few pics of my assemblies out of the car. I think this is the adjustment bolt you are looking for. Hope this helps......

BRDD,
Is that a Dr.Rebuild electrical schematic in your last picture? I've heard about them but haven't ever seen one.
Regards,
Alan
