I have been looking at these for off and on for over a year now. I finally found a full set with owners manual and won them for a whopping $35.00!
With the 56 Bel Air,64 SS Impala ,67 Ramp and 71 C-10 all having round lights I figured it was worth it plus it's a cool piece of automative history!Now I just need to learn how to use them to get the most out of my light's.

WOW! I have (maybe still) one of those parts, the little device in the last picture. I never could figure out what it was. I always thought it was some kind of surveying tool, but every surveyor I worked around had never seen one. Last time I saw mine, my grandkids were playing with it. I do have the case (what's left of it) and some directions:

I'll have to look around and see if I can find the actual tool.:lol:

Thanks great write up for sure. I saved it for future use. Anybody tell me what this part is?
I flipped the picture and blew it up on paint and it looks like a ground level piece to take care of the floor if it's not level. Maybe.

I found the owner manual on the net! It goes through the whole process of the alignment! Has pictures and all you need to align your lights with the kit.:chevy:

Those are what we used to use in the assembly plant.

One of the last steps before rolling of the end of the final line.

I got them yesterday and plan to use them today trying to get the lights on the ramp truck done. I carried the ramp over to my friends shop yeterday and installed his new wheels & tires on his all factory Lemans with 3 dueces that he built 4 speed Hurst edition. I'll get pictures today as I start the tilt column change out in the ramp truck today.:chevy:

Does anyone know how the light meter is suppose to work? I can't find any info about it. I put it in front of the Impala lights but it doesn't do anything. I hooked to my volt meter to read continuity and it moved a little and beeped so I know it's all connected.:chevy:
