Question Headlight Adjustment

The headlights on my 1977 F-100 are out of adjustment (one shines on the road and the other points high). Is there any gauge, tool or procedure to adjust the headlights properly? I know that there are adjustments in the assembly but how do I know what the factory or proper settings are?

As always, thank you for your help.

It's based on 25 ft and elevation

You need a nice flat surface and a wall to set the headlights.

Googling the words " headlight adjustment " will bring up several hits with instruction

an easy way to get close is go to a parking lot late at nite
find a level as possible spot near a wall
about 20 feet away and the high beams on
measure to the center of your head lamp
then ajust the beam on the wall to the same height
