To: OneAmongOthers-It will have to be in one of the hoses that goes to the heater core. I hope the Ford engineers who designed this system are residing in the proper place in the "heaven or hell" scenario! Again, I gave up on that and just change the vacuum hoses in the engine bay to port to whatever function I need for the moment. It didn't really work very well in 1967, and this many years later it certainly is problematic. The control unit in the dash has a lot of very small tubes running off it and through the firewall, and even smaller orifices in the unit itself. Also, I found the vacuum controlled heat/ac functions to be a problem. I eventually gave up! I figured I could live without power door locks. I have no idea where you would find either good used or new replacements. I found that the door lock "motors" were leaking. And one leak can cause a multitude of problems. Keep in mind that it only takes one leak to defeat all the systems. That would depend on whether your state has an inspection law that would require the wipers to work and/or whether or not you think you could do without them.Īs for you tackling the vacuum system on your Bird, I wish you luck! Even with the aid of the shop manual on CD, I can't tell you how many hours/days/weeks/months I spent trying to get various things working on mine. If you can do without the windshield wipers, you could bypass the whole thing and just run the return hose back to the cooler/pump. I never have figured that one out, but it somehow does it's job. One of the great mysteries to me is how the "park" function on the ww works. If the ww motor does not need it, it bypasses and returns to the ps pump possibly through a cooler if it is still there. The fluid travels through it and into the windshield wiper motor. The return off the steering box goes up to that weird looking part, as you called it. The high pressure hose off the pump goes directly to the steering box. As for the plumbing of the system, it is fairly straightforward. It's not really a big deal as most auto parts stores of any size can make up hydraulic hoses.
