Default Vacuum line for fresh air vent

I had the heater box out and when I pulled the fresh air vent to rebuild the gasket in it, the vacuum line got mixed up with another one. Can anyone tell me what color the line is, orange or blue? I am color blind so it could be red and green.....

Also, anyone know where I can get a good vacuum diagram for under the dash? I am replacing all the lines and the diagram that came with the kit leaves something to be desired.....

Are you referring to the vacuum actuator on the passenger side in the dash that is connected to the fresh air door? If so, it is the orange line.

Just went out and had a look as this weeks project is a jutted interior for sound/heat proofing, new carpet, rear sound box/bar and amp.

Curious, if you're color blind, how in the hell are you doing EOD? "Cut the red wire, BOOM, oh crap!!"

Default Vacuum diagram

I just finished doing a headlight and wiper door vacuum kit on my '71. I used the kit from Doc rebuild. It has a great color diagram. If you call doc they may be able to sell you their color diagrams for the system you need, separate from the kit. Who's kit do you have?

Not an EOD tech, combat engineer. We dont play with that disarming stuff, just blow it in place....

Back on topic - is that the line you are looking for? If not, will go out and dig some more. My orange line from the actuator then tracks into the firewall.

Thank you for doing what you do.

Us Air Force guys really appreciate what you do, so we don't have to get our hands dirty.
