  • ​‪@BuffsGarage‬ and ‪@IrishOutlawGarage‬ help me put my High School car, a 1972 Pontiac Lemans, back on the road by swapping in a new TH400 automatic transmission plucked from the Holey Goat. We also install a new carb, and then we see what the 455-inch Pontiac V8 is made of!

    Just like the Grand Prix video took me down memory lane, this one does as well. My brother had a 72 Lemans when i was a kid. It was painted "Goddess Gold" and had gold wheels to match. 350/TH 350. It was his pride and joy. Got ass packed by an inattentive driver doing 55mph in an Astro van. Didn't even tap the brakes i remembered hearing. Car sat with the trunk folded into the rear passenger area for years with my brother claiming one day he would revive it. Life got in the way though, he moved on, and the car eventually got parted out and scrapped. Sad end. Your Lemans looks and sounds badass. Enjoy many more years and miles with it!

    The AC/Heater control does have a vacuum switch connecting to it that opens/closes the vents. Any of those lines could be cracked, or the connection points may be leaking, or the selector switch is leaking. A quick fix assuming you don't care about the vents is to plug off the vacuum line going from the engine to AC/Heat controller.
