Hi, Bbody-philes -
My '69 Charger has the vacuum-operated headlight doors, which I like and don't plan to convert. The car has come back to me from a 2-1/2 year restoration, and with the original vacuum hoses, but disconnected beyond the firewall. I'm trying to put it back together so the headlight doors operate but can't figure out what goes where. There's not a word about the system in the FSM as far as I can see.
At least two of the hoses are color-marked, with three of them attached to the headlight switch -- two in an upper group and one on the bottom as shown in the attached graphic. The upper ones are marked with yellow and blue/green and the third not colored. These come through a grommet on the firewall in the positions shown.
Can anyone tell me where these hoses go after the firewall?
Thanks!
