67 Select-Aire Vacuum Hoses, Routing, Markings & Connections
67gtasanjose:
Looking to identify and source better Concours quality STRIPED vacuum hoses along with color coded markings on the vacuum rotary switches (at heater control panel) & color coded markings on the diapham pods (actuators).
Many vendors are selling cheap "Get-er-dunn" hose sets for under the dash but they are nothing like what I removed from my example. (originals were striped ~Reproductions look to be tagged, see picture)
My originals are too old to use again, I had trimmed & cut the ends already several times so now too short.
I'll post some pictures & I will get some pages from vacuum charts (service manuals) to help others.

Some pictures of the hoses & vacuum switch from my 11/2/66 actual build date, San Jose coupe, Marti Report confirmed factory Select-Aire car.
I want to say (from memory) I recall there used to be color dots on the various vacuum pods or actuators too, though I see no sign of those colored markings today. Maybe others can look to see if this could be verified, one way or another, on other original examples?

I do not recall ever seeing the color dots on the actuators, just on the control panel as you have shown. I have been able to find useable original hose sets that were fully striped.

Thanks on the actuator dots. Something else I do not need to duplicate ;)
Yes, it would be nice to locate an original set of usable hoses...I wonder if WCCC might have a set...I didn't see any original or reproduction versions available at their site.
Re: Actuators...I have found them to be date coded...A few of mine seem to have been changed. (incorrect dates ~ I remember now having changed out 1 of them)
I HAD 3 spares and two tested bad, now down to ONE spare.

A few more pictures. I'll upload a few more as everything comes together but here are a couple of BEFORE/AFTER pics. I needed parts from a donor (evaporator core in particular)
Mice can be SO destructive...sure am glad I kept the car stored in a garage since it arrived from So.California...it USED to be rust-free and rodent free...this is what 15 years unattended can do to a car. :'(
