Now that I've got my Elan running, I was hoping that the vacuum system woulda sucked the headlights down, but it doesn't work yet.
According to the book for failsafe models, the two vacuum lines from the headlamp switches go to engine manifold and the single headlight pod. From what I gather, there's not a "vacuum resevoir" on federal versions.
My vacuum line is coming from a vacuum port on the intake for the front carb. It goes from there to the headlamp switch, then from the switch back to the vacuum cylinder that's connected to the headlight pods.
I've removed the line from the manifold when the engine is running and there is vacuum, but it seems weak. If I hook up a vacuum guage to this line, does anyone have any idea how much vacuum should be going through? What other tests can I do to isolate the problem?
I know I ask a lot of questions, and I do appreciate the expertise that everyone brings. Hope you don't give up on me too soon!
