molded vacuum actuator hoses

[Robert M.]

I purchased a new headlight vacuum hose set and 2 of the hoses (green and red) have a 90 degree molded end on them, do the molded ends attach to the vacuum canister or to the vacuum relay switch?
Thanks Bob Moon

Re: molded vacuum actuator hoses

The one that goes on the front of the actuator (I hope your kit came with instructions because I can't remember the stripe color) is molded 90* on many 1969s. I suspect the one going to the rear of the actuator is as well. Are there no instructions with your hoses?

As with what Terry said it would go to the headlight actuators green on the front toward the bumper and red on the back toward the radiator.

Thanks guys, It did come with instrctions but they were incorrect as to where the molded hoses go. I assume they were used on a 68

The assembly instruction manual (AIM) shows the hoses, correct colors, routing, etc.

Your not going to tell us where the hoses came from, are you?

Re: molded vacuum actuator hoses

The red and green hoses were swapped around sometime in '69.
I think there is even a note in the AIM.
Cheers, Graeme.
