If you lost a vacuum line then the heater would let hot air out the vents with or without the fan motor running. Do this test with the engine up to operating temperature Touch both hoses with the heater on and temp control to the hottest position. Now check the temperature of both hoses. They should be the same. If not that indicates a blockage of water to the heater core. Test the water flow valve too. It can be plugged with rust or not moving to let water into the core. The core itself can be plugged too. If you really need a hose diagram, a Chilton's manual will be your source of information. The engine won't idle well with a vacuum hose off.

SOURCE: No Heat..Heater Core Is Heating..Vacuum Lines?

I have a '96 Eddie Bauer Limited and it has the same problem. They told me that there is a small butterfly valvu located in the vac lines to select between hot or cold air. There is a tension spring connected to the valve, to an acutator, and to your ac contorl system. The spring on mine broke, so the valve opens and closes due to suction only. It is supposed to be about a $700.00 fix (due to the valves location by the firewall) but I have found a way around that. Try to aggressively apply the brakes making the vehicle slow rapidly, and at the same time turning on the blower fans with full bast heat selected. If this does not work, try doing the previous while going around a right hand corner. The corner will help the momentum of the valve turn in the right direction. Remember you have to switch the fan on full blast when you try either. If it works you should hear a thud as the valve flips shut and the heat should start coming out of the vents.

Good luck

F.O. is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. Rotor turns clockwise. Wire from coil to distributor is from negative side of coil. The positive side of coil is for hot wire originating from ignition switch. Always hot with key on.
For vacuum diagram, just google "1967 Buick Riviera 430 cu in, vacuum diagrams" . It is there.

Looking for dist firing order for 1967 430 plus a vacuum diagram and what side of coil does dist wire go on?

The firing order is, 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2
Odd and even numbered cylinder banks. driver side bank, front to back, 1 3 5 7
passenger side bank, front to back, 2 4 6 8
Dist rotor rotation, clock wise.
If you put number one cylinder on tdc of compression stroke, then whichever sparkplug tower the rotor is leading into, in the proper direction is number one. Then you follow the firing order in proper direction around the cap.

Need vacum diagram for the 1967 ford ltd. Heater/air conditioner switch will not change from one to the other

If vacuum operated, you will have a single vacuum line from the engine through the firewall, and to the switch. From there, the vacuum will be routed to however many controls the vacuum operates-about 4 to 8, typically. First make sure the line to the switch has vacuum and has not been disconnected. If you have vacuum to the switch, check the little vacuum control canisters around the heater case for proper operation-the diaphragm in the canisters may be bad.
Sorry, I've never seen a diagram for the heater controls.

1990 Buick Riviera Transmission won't shift out of low.

On my Vauxhall/Opel Senator I snagged a cable from the auto box which left the car in a 'limp home' mode. I'm no mechanic but once the cable was re-attached the car was fine.

1986 Buick Skylark heater blows out cold air

In many cars there is a flapper valve in the ductwork which is sometimes vacuum actuated.If this flapper is stuck or the vacuum line is unhooked or deteriorated,you will not feel any warm air at the vents.Look under the dash for rubber vacuum lines or try moving the selector knob for HOT/COLD or FEET/VENT/DEFROST while revving engine alittle to increase vacuum.

1994 Buick Roadmaster won't divert heat to defroster or floor

There is a vacuum line that's plastic on the passenger side back near the firewall. Sometime they have a little black ball looking thing (vacuum canister) that the vacuum line hooks to. Look for vacuum leaks in that area. That will cause the problem you described.

New heater core not hot

If your radiator is not clogged, your thermostat is working, and you have a new heater core, it sounds like when your mechanic was installing your heater core, that he possibly pulled a vacuum line loose or forgot to hook one back up. On most all late model vehicles, heater controls are vacuum operated. One line to move the selector flap from vent to floor to defrost, etc., and one line to move the heat flap from hot to cold. Most vehicle manufacturers changed from mechanical controls to vacuum operated controls to try to simpify the system and have less parts to have to replace. However the set-back with this is that when a vacuum line comes loose, it can be harder to locate your problem whereas a mechanical issue would obviously be right behind the controls inside the dash. If your problem is vacuum related, you can most likely assume that the problem will be somewhere under the dash, as that is where those particular vacuum lines should be routed, and also is what the mechanic had to disassemble when replacing your heater core.
