Wiper Door...
Please excuse the lack of technical terms in this post! 
The wiper door that lifts up to let the windshield wipers out refuses to go back down on my '72. Is this a vacuum issue? How hard is it to fix?

Look at the passenger side wiper - there's a switch that the wiper arm hits when it's down. If that switch isn't working, then your wiper door won't close (the switch prevents the wiper door from closing until the wipers are all of the way down in the recessed area). This switch is probably broken (I had to replace the one in my '72 a while ago) and they're easy to replace.
Here's a link to the switch that Zip offers: http://www.zip-products.com/Zip/prod...DB4CBDCDB23EAC
