Heater valve ditch is a good idea. However he still needs to tap vacuum to run the doors under his dash. Otherwise he'll have nothing other than defrost. Women tend not to appreciate things like that. Razz

So can I run a straight vacuum line to the controller?

Lol. I went from TBI to carbed, so i had to have taken out 100 wires. That harness that came through the passenger side fender had a bunch of wires i didn't need. But I still have the harness. If theres a vacuum line, I'll find it. lol

All you need to do is plug the line from the heater valve. Two separate hard lines going into the interior compartment. One for the heater valve, and one is engine vacuum feed.

This is the same for a carbed engine right? and do you have the vacuum line running from the engine to the purple line? That's input from what i've seen.

So those 2 lines (Purple and Grey) Do they both hook into a vacuum line?

The heater valve diverts coolant from the heater core when cool settings are selected.

Doubt I'll even be using the cool air. lol. "bypass" Laughing

That valve was designed to keep the interior cooler when the windows were up and the aircon or vent was on. Which is stupid... Unless you're over forty. Then it starts to make sense again. Razz

Yeah, windows up.. wth? hahah. I got T-Tops! I don't need no stinkin A/C!

You still need to find where that purple feed tube terminates, and get it check-valved vacuum from the reservoir.

I had it hooked up to the carb earlier. Just straight tube. What's hooking it up to the canister do?

Twilightoptics · Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:46 pm Post subject:

Not the evap canister.

The vacuum reservoir.

Usually under the evap canister. It keeps vacuum in the system when there is no vacuum. Since all the controls are vacuum operated, if you have your setting on vent.... and got WOT where there is no engine vacuum, the vent setting will end up on defrost. The reservoir keeps vacuum to the system so it doesn't change. Same with Cruise Control. Go up a hill where the engine has less vacuum, cruise might cut out without the reservoir. That's why the res is directly plumbed into the cruise and hvac system.

So how do you hook up the resivor?

Dude, I don't mean to be rude here, but several people just wrote two pages here for you on how to do this. You could read it.
