Headlight Issue

[tblake]

Friend owns a 1980 camero Z28, It was parked all winter. Recently he dropped it off at the shop to have a new trans installed. When it came home, the headlights don't work. They worked when it was parked before the snow fell. Are there any wires to look for, maybe a ground the shop could have unhooked without realizing it?

Anyone have a wiring diagram?

Thanks!

first using a meter see where it is loosing the supply/ground ...could be the current limiter ..fuses need checking..

We got it, one bulb was burned out on the low beam, and the other had a missing ground wire. All fixed.

Now if someone can tell me what the base timing should be set at on this car. 1980 z28 350. Next step is a tune up.

Thanks.

timing should be 6 deg BTC...

forgot to mention the headlamp socket/connectors..those usually corrode.. best replace both headlamps..
