Willcox Headlamp Vacuum System Diagnostic Video 1968-1982
Hi everyone-
My latest video is the headlamp parts and function video. I hope you enjoy this. I have five more videos ready to put together and some I think will be very interesting.
We have coming very soon..
How to test the wiper relay.
Headlamp housing adjustments.
Wiper motors.. a follow up to the prior video.. only this time we put the motor on the test machine and cut wires so that people can see what happens to the motor when a wire is shorted, a relay is defective, or when a wire is cut from the system.. (broken wire). You wiper people will love this one too... Hopefully it will end the remaining wiper motor questions and emails.
So with that said.. here is the newest video. Commets about changes, suggestions for new videos and any other ideas are greatly welcome.
I think I have the busiest set of hands on the internet.. I'll try on the next video to slow them down...

Excellent Video, looking very professional!
I know you try to keep the times down but even having the relavent document downloaded, the cut scenes were possibly a little quick? I would happily watch a longer video if it helped me understand.
Lots of fabulous info and now hopefully people will be able to sort out any issues. I see a lot of threads about people bashing the vacuum system but whilst it may be old school, it does the job when working well. This video will help people to get their systems working well.
Alway great to understand how a system works and what each part should do.
Thanks for sharing!

Burning Brakes
Simply put, you are outstanding at presenting and demonstrating what is a black hole to may of us - the C3 Corvette vacuum system. Thanks for all the time and effort you take to show us all
how to troubleshoot these systems! I have used several of your diagrams to fix my 69 vacuum system. My next big purchase will be a white convertible top later this summer - do you have any upcoming
specials on soft tops?
