Cadillac 1937 LaSalle VVI Information page 40

The position of the headlamp beam is changed laterally
by means of a side adjustment screw which is accessible
from the inside of the radiator shell. The beam is moved
to the left or right by tightening or loosening this screw.
After the adjustment has been made, tighten the lock nut
securely.
The beam may be raised or lowered by turning the
adjustment screw which is accessible in a depression in the
bottom of the lamp body. As this adjustment is spring-
loaded, no lock nut is provided.
The headlamps are not to be aimed with the lens and door
removed as reinstalling the door might change the adjust-
ment slightly. Because of this possibility, it is advisable to
check the headlamp adjustment whenever the headlamp
doors are removed for any reason, even for changing bulbs.
No further aiming is required for the lower or passing
beams.
Lamp Bulbs—In replacing lamp bulbs in any of the
lights on the car, the same candle power bulb should be used
for replacement as was originally installed. It is a good plan
to carry a spare set of these lamp bulbs in the car at all times.
The bulb in the map lamp may be replaced after unscrew-
ing the knob at the end of tne shield.
The lamp bulbs used in the car are as follows:

toring the Car.
If the car is to be stored for any length of time it is im-
portant that a few precautions be taken to protect it from
deterioration. Blocking up the car to take the weight off
of the tires and placing a cover over the entire body will pro-
tect the tires and finish. The engine and the storage battery,
however, require special attention.
The engine should be run until it is thoroughly warm.
The filter bowl should then be removed (see page 54) and the
engine run until all of the gasoline is drawn out of the pump
and the carburetor. The gasoline tank should be drained.
Oil should be injected into the cylinders while the engine
is still warm. This may be done by pouring two or three
tablespoonsful of engine oil into the spark plug holes. Crank-
ing the engine a few times after that is done will distribute
the oil evenly over the pistons and cylinder walls. The cool-
ing system should then be drained.
The battery should be fully charged and the solution
should be at the proper level. The battery should be dis-
connected to avoid discharge through insulation leaks. If
possible, arrangements should be made to have the battery
charged from an outside source every two months during
the storage period.
