hi everyone vacume leak fix

[bobby1970]

restoring my 70 vette and had a vacume problem for a long time, wiper door and headlights, i replaced every thing that had to do with vacume leak. not to much help out there so i tried tried and tried again. after about 2 months go by and going crazy and hearing that im not the only one out there i decited to vacume test 1 vacume line at a time and found 1 small brand new hose under dash did not hold vacume and helped and i was looking at the brand new pull down switches 1 for headlights and 1 for wiper door and got rid of the metal connters and those stupid connters and took each hose and put them right into the valve ,guess what happend,NO VACUME LEAK. THE complete system works GREAT. so if your wiper door or head lights give you problems or vacum leaks get rid of those stupid connters at the pull down switch

Hi Bobby and

Nice to see you jumped right in to offer advice to others that may experience a similar problem. That's one of the things that makes our online community special - it's that members are willing to pass on their wisdom and experiences to others as well as ask when they need help themselves.

In the spirit of helping, I'm going to move your thread from the INTRODUCTIONS forum to the C3 forum so that it will be more likely to reach a better target audience there.

Enjoy the

Jane Ann

Thanks for the info, I'm experiencing a similar problem with my 81. I'll look into what you described.
