I've recently done a lot of work in the engine compartment of my 87 Grand Wagoneer, replacing the radiator, all the belts and hoses, and the carburetor, as well as removing most of the emissions stuff and simplifying the vacuum hose layout. I kept track of what was there and I have everything I need hooked up, except for one thing: the heater valve.
Somehow it escaped me that the vehicle had no heater valve; the previous owner must have removed it. I know what valve to buy and i know where to install it. But where do I get vacuum that is controlled by the A/C and heater controls?
The way I understand how the heater valve works is that as long as vacuum is pulling on it it's closed. I think that would mean that there is a vacuum valve somewhere that only restricts vacuum to the heater valve when the control module in the passenger compartment is set to A/C. Is this correct? Does anybody have any photos or a diagram of how this should be hooked up?
Thanks in advance for the help!
