Stuckin70s Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 GM OEM Part: 3909049. The bracket connector to the Cowl Vent Actuator. It appears to be some type of pot metal. The whole assembly is on backorder over a year. I only need the bracket. Someone out there has to be making the bracket for the supply houses. Please advise. Thank you.

Dtret Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 None that I have found. Why I don’t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I ran into the same thing, mine was broken. Tried to repair it, but didn't work out too well. Did all sorts of searching for the part itself, no luck. Call Leo Konik, he sent me just the part I needed. He's a member here too. https://koniksklassiks.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I ran into the same problem myself. Also tried to fix it, no good. Fortunately, I had a parts car to get it from. Try Leo or another club member. That's your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Don’t laugh but I did fix mine. I made a piece of steel, drilled a couple holes and made it work. I got one from a member and threw this in the box of parts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant MacPherson Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 What are the symptoms when this fails? I seem to have lost control of where the air is directed, was going to start with the control switch but maybe should start with the damper? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuckin70s Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Grant MacPherson. I would start with the vacuum check valve. If it installed installed backwards there will be no vacuum going to the switch. The pointy end of the little white valve should point towards the manifold vacuum source. 72 Monte Vacuum diagram heater box.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The one Brad has broken, is located inside the actual cowl, and just directs outside air into the vehicle. If you go to 'MAX' cooling, it closes off the outside air and recirculates the cooler air inside the car. That damper isn't your problem. Like Brad said, see if you have vacuum first.
