Hi Trevor and All,
I can tell you that IML member Roy and I both found the same problem with
our ATC..... there is a vacuum connector piece in this picture
(
http://www.imperialclub.com/YearByYear/1967/AutomaticTemperatureControl/page
s/ATC24-42_gif.htm)
and for some reason the plastic gets brittle and all these break off, once
these brake off the system no longer works properly ... Roy fixed his by
drilling the existing pieces out and replacing them with copper pipe, I just
canned that whole piece and went with vacuum connectors which you can get an
any auto parts store....
On the website we have the whole ATC manual from the FSM Plus supplements
on how to Trouble shoot the system and How the system works...
You can find that by going to the 67 or 68 home page or by clicking on this
link!

Ask away if you need more help!
