67 GP Power Door Lock Vacuum Relay location?
Does anyone have a picture of the PDL vacuum relay mounted under the dash? Or how the door lock switches are mounted to the door panel? I'm installing the setup on my 67 GP while I have the dash ripped out.
Thanks! |

Here are a few pictures of my factory installed power locks regulator on my 69 Bonneville. Different year but I'd imagine 65-69 the firewall stuff is identical for the most part. The second pic gives you a better idea of where it is... you can make out the air intake vacuum valve on the passenger side kick panel (the box in the middle of the pic is the programmer for the ATC). The valve is behind the glove box, up high on the right side. The first pic you can see the stereo multiplex unit.
I was in behind the glove box of my 69 Cat lately and I noticed that the dimples for the PDL actuator are there (it doesn't have power locks). As for the door panel switches I can't really help you since the 69 Bonnie uses a armrest mount system but my GTO uses a door panel mount and the way the switch mounts is a two clip arrangement. The black metal clip is pinched into the opening of the cardboard panel and stays there permanently. The bright zinc clip pops onto the switch and then you pop it into place in the door panel as one unit.

My Bonneville is apart. I'll get you a picture of my original door panel with the door lock switches locations. I like the threads your posting. Might help me in the future with my Brougham? Hope to be working on it soon! Scott

Thanks a lot for the information, guys!
I understand that there is a "reinforcement" used in conjunction with the door panel mounted lock switches; I'm trying to find out what that might look like and also trying to figure out the exact placement of the switches. I've got new panels coming so I can experiment with the old panels a little. Since I've already got hide-away headlights, I'm going to tap into the existing reservoir feed line for vacuum. |

Power locks used their own vacuum reservoir that mounted.on the rear of the driver side inner fender. However piping in to the hideaway resovoir will work fine. The challenge is getting all the bits airtight, no mean feat!

i believe the reservoir is mounted on front of drivers inner fender. Also some additional picture that may be of value.
