I'm looking for a diagram of the wiper vacuum system for a '55 Roadmaster.

I have the OEM shop manual but this is one of the few subjects not covered.

You can get the shop manual from a couple of companies. The tubes in my '56 are pretty simple, running to the fuel pump, which has a separate bladder for suction. My two are both burnt out and need a rebuild or I may go to an electric, There's not mcuh to it, actually.

what exactly do you need to know? I have a 55 parts car that the dash is already out of the way that I can look at, or draw a diagram. There's really nothing to it though. Let me know what you need

Well, it's a diagram for a '56 Buick, but it should be very much the same as a '55's. Here's the address:

Go to "1956 Research" it will be on the drop-down menu.
You do need an "Adobe" reader to view it. Anyhow, I really hope this helps. Good luck with your project!:thumbsup:
