Small vacuum line on the bottom of the accordian hose goes to one of the two vacuum tubes on the switch on top of your PS unit (the pump, not the reservoir). Doesn't even matter which. IIRC it...

If a interior guy thinks it's repairable you could always pull the dash rather than pulling the windshield. Be good experience for you as a new Supra owner anyway.

And if that's the extent of...

That's a pretty bad split. Don't know that I'd even attempt to repair it (or have someone else work on it), just keep an eye out for a dash in the for sale section.

Run a block test to check for a BHG. And btw, denial is an ugly, expensive thing for Supra owners to partake of. ;)

I recommend getting one of the newer compressors for the Aristo or another Toyota which were designed from the beginning for using 134a. You'll have better luck with it in the long run.

A damaged keyway or missing key on the balancer can cause all sorts of problems, including this one (though it's pretty uncommon). Once you get into the problem let us know what you find.
