I'm having same issue [85 Cutlass Supreme Brougham]. Mechanic says the vacuum controller on mine has a weak vacuum and can't open blend door until controller has built up enough vac to open it. Ordering new controller now.

The rotary vacuum controllers all fail the same way: the plastic snap rivet that holds the two haves together breaks one or both tabs:

An 1/2 inch long 8-32 screw and nylock nut can replace the rivet.

Welcome aboard, Mike!
Thanks for the introduction. I didn't mean to come off like a storm trooper, just that we get a lot of first time posters that ask for info and are never to be heard from again.
Nice Regal. by the way. thanks for sharing the pics. ..and a good day to you sir.

That's a great tip. I guess we don't need to go nuts looking for a replacement if it can be remedied that easily. Thanks again for that.
