Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the links. The first link talks about the general idea that
vacuum systems fail over time; the second link is an advertisement for a
book on vacuum systems; and the third link talks about repairing the vacuum
system that operates wiper doors on a `72. I couldn`t access info on
revamping vacuum operated headlights that was a feature article in the Feb.
03 issue of Vette magazine, the link info. source. If you have a
subscription would you mind sending along a link for that issue ? TIA.
