66 headlight openers

Postby oltoronut » Tue Dec 27, 2016 4:16 pm

Got my headlight working great. Open fast but close very slow.............I believe their was originally a check valve that would release the vac. to let them close faster. Has anyone figured out a way to solve this problem??

I solved the problem.............. Originally their was a vac check valve in the line to the opening side of the cylinder.( no longer available)
I put a tee in that line with a Vacuum check valve on the branch of that tee. It now releases the vacuum when the switch is shut off.
