Ok , so now that the engine is in the 83...on to bigger and better things.

One vacuum pod is leaking (the one behind the glove box), where to get parts??

Also is there a way to test the climate control unit, or at least check its functions....pinouts etc.

Its cold here and when heat is on or defrost on, Im not getting anything from center vents. Tested the center pod with the mighty vac and its ok. So Im looking for an idea of what should work and when.

Might be nice to rig up a testing board of some type for these creatures.

I got my pod repair parts from:

Oak Ridge, TN 37830

Parts worked great. Center vents don't put out heat.

that would explain it....Thanks

Is there a manual that explains a test procedure for these units?

I think the CD FSM has some test procedures listed. I'll check when I return home this afternoon. Otherwise you might call Peter at General Development Laboratory. He rebuilds the units and might have some tips.
