God This topic brought a shudder to my bones ! Brought back memories of my
old 1964 Thunderbird which had EVERYTHING operated via vacuum, A/C , heater,
vent doors , parking brake release, wipers ...... it was a great car until
the vacuum lines and bellows started to go bad , one by one. I've restored
complete cars in less time than I spent chasing down vacuum leaks .
For a great car it sure did suck alot :)
