I have a 78 and need to replace the check valve for my headlights. Can somebody tell me where that is. thanx
 
On my 77, that valve is in a single line that comes from the manifold just behind the carb, runs to the left about 6" and then connects to the 2 lines that go to the headlight system- one line runs to the front of the car and the other runs inside to the override and headlight switches. Look between the carb and distributor- that's the usual place for it.
 
Look at the photo below, see the vac hose coming out of the fitting in the manifold behind the carb? Follow it toward the bottom of the picture, the small white plastic thingy is the filter, the next one (after the filter) with one hose going in and 2 coming out is the check valve. Hope this helps,

Gary
