My headlight adjusting will not stay in adjustment. I found that the headlight wiring was stuck between the headlamp itself and the bracket (for lack of a better description) that holds the lamp and is used to adjust the beam.
The plastic piece that the headlight beam adjusting screw goes into is cracked because the stuck wire kept the lamp from adjusting correctly.
Anybody know where I might get a replacement plastic piece or the 63 Dart?
Thanks
John

I guess the part that is broken is on the headlight mount bucket.

I cant get to the headlight now the car is in the garage while I am working on the rear brakes but here is a link to a set of adjusters for a B body.

The part I need is the plastic nut that the adjuster screw couples.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks.

The nylon piece originally wasn't serviced by the factory so I can't tell you definitively the B-body pieces you found will work in your A-body, but they probably will.
