Thanks for all the help. I have the radio and heater out so that makes for a lot more room under the dash. I can see the vacuum motor and the linkage arms and lots of wire. Yes, I will have to take the spring off the vent but that does not look too difficult.

I am beginning to think that the vac motor is also the wrong unit for the car. It is hanging down and touching the light socket for the dash lights. So, the work continues and grows!!

Thanks for the door handle information. I thought that the handles were wrong after reading in the forum files about how to take the lock cylinders out of the handles and my handles did not have the "little hole." The handles are currently off the car. Before I reinstall them, I will see if I can find correct replacements. Anybody of any ideas as to where to find them?

I inspected the door latches and found that the inside door handles have plenty of spring pressure to return them after opening the door. It seems to be the outside handles that are sticky or is there another spring that returns them independently from the inside handles?

Again, thanks for all the help,

Rod
