Can anyone post a diagram that is for the 70 - 72 that includes the wiper door and headlight doors together. I cant find the book I bought that had a diagram in it.
Thanks
Rodney

Zipcorvette.com also has the diagram online with complete vacuum hose kits for your specific year cut to order. Hope it may help you out.

Joel,
In your diagram that you posted , the vacuum hose that comes off the override switch and heads front. When it gets to the vacuum tank I am assuming the hose continues to the front 2 relays and does not connect to the tank. The pic puts the tank on top of the hose but I dont think it is plumbed into the tank. I know on my 74 that hose goes directly from the override to the relays. I am just making sure I have this right so when I hopefully get my new switch today I can get these lights to operate correctly. Then I'll move on to the wiper door next.
Thanks for all your help.
Rodney

Rodney, here's a different diagram, with purdy colors I got from Gil....
It's a little more detailed. You are correct about the over-ride hose going tot he relay valves, tho.

Thats a great diagram! Now if only the headlight switch would have shown up today like it was supposed to. I came home and no delivery on the porch. Ran to the mailbox and no mail. Yes Ran! So when it arrives on Thursday I will start again. Thanks for posting that one. And the other info as well. The only thing Im not sure about is the RED comments? LOL
Thanks Again
Rodney

Good News! Last night I put the new headlight switch in and finally the headlights go up and down like they are supposed to. The only thing I saw on the diagram that was different are the 2 vacuum hoses going to the headlight switch. The ports on the switch are to be numbered as #2 & #3. However my switch had no numbers on it so it could be that the switch is slightly different but I had to reverse those two per the diagram. Good news is that the lights now operate. Thanks for all your help.
Rodney
