Our '74 Duster came with the A/C removed, but original control panel intact, incl. the vacuum lines that operate the heater/defrost doors.
After I fixed the various air leaks, the heater/defrost door really doesn't work from the panel--I have to manually move it to a compromise position so that some heat gets to the defrost.
Does anyone have any idea of how the vacuum lines are spoz to be routed? Is there a diagram anywhere? I have the factory manual CD, but can't find it on there. I might be looking in the wrong place. That's the problem with the CD--you can't just flip thru looking for what you need.
I got a replacement control unit from a junkyard in AZ, but haven't put it in yet, 'til I know how everything is spoz to hook up and I can have everything work while I have the control panel out.
That sure is hell getting that thing out, isn't it?
The old blower switch was frozen, so I got a brand new one from some dealer In Rhode Island. He was $100 cheaper than some sleazeball who told me I'd never find any prices cheaper than his!!!!
Thanks so much for your help.

Info you need (including vacuum hose routing diagram) is in Section 24, near the end.

I think this vacuum selector is still available new, but will have to dig through books to find out for sure. Does your selector have five or six click-stop positions?

Uhhhhh...$100 cheaper?!! That switch is still a current item, ACDelco number 1550455 or NAPA Echlin HC201 or Standard-Bluestreak HS-202, around $15.
