I may have a spare vacuum tank, but it will take me some time to find it.

Here is my vacuum reserve tank...

These vacuum headlight systems are really a stylish feature, but they tend to be a royal pain from time to time. As you can see I just keep my control valve setting on top of my reserve tank for easy access. Every once in a while the little slider inside my control valve does not want to move and my headlight shutters will not open. When this happens I typically can spray Aerokroil in each of the ports, hook everything back up, and then it works great for a few more months. I am also including diagrams for the complete installation of the 1968 and 1969 Toronado vacuum headlight system. This has made troubleshooting a million times easier for me...
