Well I heard this whining noise coming from the battery. It wasn't the battery though. When I took it out, I found that like 10 out of the 11 (I think) vacuum lines had like 8-10" of the harline missing. It appears the battery/vapors has disolved the hardline. I jumped them with rubber hose and now can hear a vacuum leak in the dash somewhere. I guess I'm a little closer but none of the dash accesories work. I think in the mean time I'm going to see if I can prop the center vent door open. I can reach in there and manually make the door move and I think I can get some thing to prom against the actuator and duct housing.

Frank.
