NATRAD! and no idea about the cost or diagrams, id say holden should have one tho.. im sure they had em back in 1986-88 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Number eight (8) goes to a actuator near the steering coloum with a rod and a lever on it, its close to the front of the dash and i think the lever pushes down. Number nine (9) goes to a actuator behind the ciggie lighter area. Everything else has a rubber blocking teet on it, all up i think there was four. Ill put this in technical for future reference by others too..... CARCRAZY here is a little line you can add/edit to the original post. Number five (5) Goes to a small one way valve (White and black round thing) and connects too a second fitting on the actuator near the steering coloum After many hours of searching through libary books, search engines on WWW and fianlly finding a complete vl at a wreaking yard, this is what I have come up with. Hope it helps guys. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The selector is the thing with the fan speed control switch and stuff on it, if you undo that, and pull the whole thing out. Where the hoses plug in you will see a round part - that's where all your numbers are.

try moving the slector knob slowly. you may need to find the sweet spot between settings that it will work or you may have a hose mixed up or a broken vac line

Still need that info?? ^^ I'll have a look this afternoon - I blew a rubber teet off coming on boost the other night. Also, my hoses were correct and I still only had demister, the actual vac switch was busted, it's 24 dollars from holden. From top to bottom on the connector it is orange, brown, brown and white. Out of curiosity, are the bungs readily available? I just made my own out of alfoil, glad wrap and a zip tie, the last one got shot through the dash when I came on boost.
