Akula69 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I am trying to find the correct part number for the vaccum harness that runs from the control on the dash to the HVAC box (behind the dash) and out into the engine bay (heater core valve and vaccum tank). I have several of the HVAC units, and have begun rebuilding / re-insulating the best of the bunch for the Christmas Jeep. On each unit there are a series of vaccum lines that has a tag attached which says: 'BMC' in two places (I believe that is the manufacturer) and '8956001-771' (which I believed was the part number) and, in a different type set '8257' (which I believe is the sequencial part identification number). All three tags I have found are identical except for the third number, which is different on each. This tag is usually found inside the wire loom that covers the vaccum lines just behind the connector which attaches to the controls. If someone with better reference manuals then I could look up this part number I'd be greatful. Thanks Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I get p/n 8350 4357 for the HVAC vacuum harness in the factory manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Keep your eye on Ebay Jake. Lots of sellers have bought up NOS stuff from dealerships that have gone belly-up and are listing it piecemeal as they sort through it (have done it myself). These parts usually go fairly cheap in most cases and I've picked up a crap load of stuff in the last couple of years. I saw one of these vacuum harnesses on Ebay recently but didn't buy it though as they are not a "high failure" rated part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately all of mine have lost the purple colored hose that goes to the heater valve, (in fact..both the hoses that go into the engine bay are now white from age and heat!).
