68-72 Headlight and Wiper door Diagram

[Robert E.]

I found a very simplistic vacuum hose diagram for those who may be interested.

Sorry, the link doesn't go direct to the page. Select Tech Tips on the left of the page, then select Headlight and Wiper vacuum diagram link halfway down the page.

Re: That drawing is WRONG It's BOGUS

Geoffrey, It wasn't my intention to post any false statements or diagrams. I saw this diagram while surfing the net and I though it would make a good post. Is there anybody else out there that will confirm Geoffrey's statement?

I'm not so sure. I have it on good authority that those vacuum system drawings were based on YEARS OF RESEARCH by "Brand X". The research was performed by literally thousands of "elfs from der forest" toiling in their spare time when they weren't stamping hoses with little rubber stamps. And, the research was verified by a covey of witches. So, I don't see how it can be wrong.

Joe:

Is that what they call it ? Research?

Just don't hook it up that way - or you literally will be in the dark.

Are you trying to tell me that those elfs got it wrong? Now, come on. Just because they never learned to read and write doesn't mean that they can't do good research. They can draw those blue lines on the hoses pretty good. Sometimes they get it a little crooked or a lttle too wide here and there, of course, but they do pretty good. AND, they whistle while they work.

Just for reference, what exactly is wrong with it? Unfortunately, I can neither agree nor disagree because I haven't studied this aspect, but I have heard this before.

Re: That drawing is WRONG It's BOGUS

I do own a Corvette, and a model year which is mentioned in the original post. I have yet to restore these vacuum systems on my vehicle, but when I do, I would like to know the correct hose routing, etc. For the sake of others who may be in my or a similar situation, could you clarify what exactly is wrong with the diagram. By that, and I'll state that I believe you, I mean which hose/hoses are wrong, what is their correct position, etc. If you could post a correct diagram or provide a link to one, I believe it will be immensely helpful. Thanks.

Re: That drawing is WRONG It's BOGUS

Kevin the info you require is probably in the GM manual or the assembly manual.Please look for the info or buy an info package from Geoffrey or a major parts supplier or borrow from a club member. The info from zip is incorrect as previously mentioned . Please know the build date of the car because there are some minor differences in the systems . the difference is in hose length and relay actuator locations.

Re: That drawing is WRONG It's BOGUS

since the good dr. is bashfull and shy and would not blow his own horn,he has and i belive sells correct laminated drawing of the hose routings. he also has a wonderfull illustrated catalog that he markets for $3,a bargain because i believe it used to cost $4. if you make a trip to carlisle next weekend the good dr. will give you a copy and will even autograph free of charge.
