Default 72 Corvette base engine headlight and wiper door actuator vacuum diagram and troubles

Does anyone have the vacuum hose diagram and troubleshooting guide for the headlight and wiper door actuators for a 1972 base engine W A/C automatic.

Thanks
Al

Hi Al,
I believe you'll find that the Willcox Corvette site has very good vacuum layout diagrams for each production year as well as trouble shooting information.
The systems can be quite a puzzle until you've studied the information a bit, gotten to understand what each component is supposed to do and when, and then tested each component individually and independently to see if it's working properly.
Having a vacuum pump with a gauge (such as a mity-vac) can make working on the systems more straight forward.
You might also consider buying a 72 Assembly Instruction Manual if you don't already have one. The AIM can be a help in understanding where the parts are located and how they're interconnected.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

You didn't say what the door was doing? Post what is going on and I'm sure the people here will get you going.

Here is the vacuum schematic for your car.



Here is how to test the wiper arm relay.

Here is how the actuator works.
