After checking for vacuum leaks, lubricate the pivot assemblies for the lamps.

/\ Before checking the hoses, I hit up both spring assemblies with WD40, and Lithium spray.
Slight improvement of opening speed (less than 1 minute for both to fully open, was ~2 minutes for the left unit before lubing). Once I get the car back from paint, I'll be replacing both actuators and relays. |

I could also change to a 2" filament height if needed. |

You should really take the out of the vacuum hose going to your brake booster. This should be a dedicated line. Then put your headlight vacuum hose on it's own vac source.
You see the little round component on the head light side of your vac tubes, that is a check valve. You should also have a filter before the check valve between it and the manifold. It's letter "F" in the diagram below. Make sure the check valve is working correctly. This may hep (thanks Wilcox!!) ![]() How do the lights perform using the override switch below the steering column? |

I posted earlier that the check valve is bad. Running w/o a filter until I get it sorted out. Working on those relays and activators next. That sheet from Wilcox is plastered to my garage wall. ![]() |

I'd still separate the brake booster vac source from your headlight vac source.

Good choice. A little fire on that foam filter and you’ll need a dental pic set to get all the melted foam out.

Got the headlights working properly yesterday.
Replaced the vacuum relays, and one actuator I believe was OEM, they now work as designed. I used this link https://redirect.viglink.com/?format...m%2Fvacuum.htm provided by Peterbilt at CFC3tech to find the leaks. Oh, btw, rerouted the PB cannister to the carb front port. ![]() |
