Morning everyone,
Hope the day is going well for you.
MY 1981 5-speed. Manual heater/A/C control head. Functions appear to operate as they should (i.e., move the ****, expected result happens).
I am troubleshooting a vacuum leak in the cabin and need the advice of those more knowledgeable than myself.
First, thanks to everyone for the write-ups and pictures on this list. Helped a bunch.
Found one leak in the cabin by smoking the system. Fixed it.
I believe the hoses are correct on the control assembly, yet, I have a slight vacuum leak still.
Here is what I discovered:
"OFF" -- Vacuum leak heard in cabin (believe it is in the center of the cabin - maybe the control assembly)
"■■" -- Vacuum leak heard in cabin (believe it is in the center of the cabin - maybe the control assembly)
"▼" -- Vacuum leak heard in cabin (believe it is in the center of the cabin - maybe the control assembly)
"▼▲" -- Vacuum leak NOT heard
"▲" -- Vacuum leak NOT heard
"Defrost position" -- Vacuum leak NOT heard
Does this appear to be an internal issue to the control assembly or one of the vacuum units?
Thanks.

Most likely a vacuum diaphragm went bad. probably the footwell one, fortunately it is one of the easiest ones to get to.
Check all of them with a vacuum pump like a mity vac from the back of the control head and see.
