Maybe the reservoir was leaking and was simply bypassed. I would be curious to know if the vacuum hose to the wiper door actuator was even retained.

vacuum diagram
Would any of you guys have and be willing to throw up on this thread the vacuum diagram for 70 c3? Wipers aren't working. Headlights are, however vacuum reservoir on the drivers side fender isn't hooked up. Weird right?! So I was wondering if anyone had one so I could follow it and hook it back up.

Hi Dennis,
While I see 70 cars with the relay mounted near the master cylinder and no 'tubes', I don't know if I've seen a drawing of that configuration?
Have you?
Regards,
Alan
I just looked…the drawing in the 70 AIM is the one Willcox pictures.

Yes and they're both wrong. There also aren't any locking metal Clips on the driver side fender retaining those hoses in 70. Another sloppy look I would have thought they would have corrected these things with the change in the 70 model from 69 but it took until 71 to make the changes. The best diagrams were always the doc's I have to check to see if he's got it right

I am actually going to be digging into it on Saturday. Thanks for the diagram, I will keep everyone posted. I'm thinking the PO bypassed it and went directly into the manifold as well... I am sure I will find a vacuum line disconnected somewhere which would explain the wiper door not operating. Thanks again for all the help, and information!
