    My 1977 308 had a minor accident, and now the car is done, except the left headlight bucket isn't aligned properly.

    As I understand it, the entire bucket is adjustable through several bolts, allowing it to be raised or lowered, and also changing the rotation arc.

    I know one adjustment bolt is behind the upper attachment point of the lift rod. Are there others?

    My light bucket needs to come down about 1/2".

    Also, the headlight bucket design changed in 1981, so I'm looking for info on 1976-1980 308s....

    Much appreciated,
    Greg

    That's a "recheck" to the shop that took your money, man!

    I have not done it, maybe a quick job for Vintage Motorcars on Kempwood.
    They couldn't get demon1 in there though, so I guess they are busy?

    I've aimed headlamps on other cars but not the 308.....

    Oh, believe me, I'm on their case about it, just trying to get more info..

    Maybe your paarts book would help..

    I've had little success on the Ferrari Owners Site looking at parts diagrams.

    Someone sent me a hard copy or I printed the file....


    It's coming up too high or other problem?

    Don't put your finger in there, I know THAT!

    The problem I've had at that site is if you register your 1977 that's all they give you, the '77 insert.

    The BIG book is based on 1976!
