Thanks to you guys I've been able to fix the A/C so it comes out at the vents and not my feet. and I,ve got the timing tab installed and timing set.

Now I need to find out if the vacuum canister on my 80 is any good before I start ordering the Relay's for the headlights. Anyone got a idea on how to check it for leaks.

Thanks Again

Connect a Mighty Vac hand vacuum pump to it and pull vacuum. Then watch and see if it holds. The Mighty Vac has a gauge attached. You can rent/loan them from several parts houses.

I'll try that. Can I assume that if the Lights will stay up by simply plugging the lines to the actuators that they are probably not my problem. When I got the car everything was disconnected.

Wouldn't you also want to plug any other fittings other than the one you're pulling the vacuum on? You could get a false leak from a bad hose or actuator.
