AC Controls question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jtminton · 06-09-2005, 11:10 AM

I just got a new set of AC Controls (thanks pjmoreland!) for my 72 C-20 and had a question about the vacuum port thing on the top of the assembly. Here is a picture of the new one I just got (picture stolen from pjmoreland's thread):

Here is a picture of the one I took out of my truck (ignore the red parts, they were put there when I was looking for a new top lever):

As you can see from the top picture, there are three vacuum hose connections on the new one, as opposed to my assembly, which has two connections. Can anybody tell me why? Should I just take that part off of my old assembly and use it on the new one? Where does that other hose go? I'm pretty sure that the line controls the fresh air vent vacuum pod, but I don't know what the third mystery line is for.

Thanks

Interesting. I don't have my vacume diagram handy here at work... Will bring it tomarrow and try to help if no one else has.

Did they combine the vacuum hoses on 72s?

Those A/C controls you got from me are out of a 72 GMC.

My '72 GMC w/air has two ports. When it started leaking the replacement I got has three; haven't put this in, yet.

On my gmc # 1 is the vacuum source. #2 goes to all the vac doors with vac. tees and #3 goes to the heater hose valve.
