Not knowing what weight oil your useing but 60# cold is not bad in fact its perty near normal. Its how far it drops when it warms up is where the concern should be.

Are you needing advice, links, tricks, or all of the above?
If it's advice you want:
If you are not buying an after market harness and all of the oem wiring is intact replace one wire at a time from the component all the way back to the fuse box. Its tedious but, it's a sure fire way to get it right the first time.
Secondly, I'd by a haynes manual or some other wiring diagram. Study it for at least a couple weeks or until you are completely comfortable taking on the task.
Color code your wires and label both the old and new ones with paper tape and a permanent marker so that you know what each one is for.
Last but not least, make sure that the battery is disconnected... ;o)

SOURCE: how to replace the headlight on a 1987 chevy el
Check this GM Chevy Mid-Size Cars 1964-1988 procedure from Repair Guide...
Headlights - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
If some or all of the headlight bulbs being replaced still operate,
refer to the headlight aiming procedure later in this section to ease
checking or adjustment of the headlights after installation.
One way to identify the retaining ring screws is that they will be
threaded through a lip on the outer edge of the retaining ring before
threading through the adjusting plate. One the other hand, the
adjustment screws are threaded through the adjustment plate and a spring
loaded holder underneath it.
