Man, I had a great day.  I put in a new Dr Rebuild vacume hose kit and by god everything works!  The wiper door opens, the headlights come up, I am astonished how easy that was.  Of course it also showed me that my wiper motor is bad.  Oh well!  Keep up the faith.

If you think you have a problem, you should check it out.  The cost was $59 for a custom cut and molded kit with all of the t-fittings.  Following his diagram, it took me an hour to install.  The ones under the dash are the worst, but since you only have headlights to worry about, should be a lot easier.

Recommend "Killer Lights" and vacuum problems are gone forever.  The hardest part is finding the correct Firebird headlight motors.

I have a kit from Bair's but haven't installed it yet.  Too many other things going on at the moment.

Chris McDonald's conversion is sweet!  Saw it close-up at a C3VR gathering during the 50th celebration.  "Killer" is an awesome car as is Dave Bacher's "Bruiser".
