All directions are looking down and facing the dash, driver's side is the left. Line from the reservoir (right side) goes to the right port of the vacuum switch on the control head.

From the center port the line goes to the door diaphragm at the passenger's feet, when all the levers are to the left this vent door will open.

There is a tee in this line, which goes to the outside air diaphragm on the firewall, passenger side in the engine compartment above the heater. This controls the fresh air that goes in through the heater/ a-c unit.

From the left port on the control head vacuum switch the line goes to the water valve, which opens when vacuum is applied. This valve is in the supply side to the heater, where the hose turns the corner at the fender and goes back to the heater.

This is all shown on page 1a-32 of the factory shop manual, a tool well worth the ~$30 investment.

Thats out of the Factory service manual. They are a wealth of information on everything on these trucks.

I can't answer that one. If you don't get another response, come to GMC Paul's web page and ask him there.

The only difference on your 67 is the fact that there is no vacuum line for a water valve. So just disregard connection shown in picture for it, otherwise everything is the same.

Ah...that explains that useless canister on my truck.

I removed it and put the vacuum switch for my 700R4 there...it'd long been disconnected from anything other than engine vacuum.

My A/C works, but it is a bit of a mess...
