Re: [AMC-list] vacuum actuator for amc snorkle

["George Graham" <Jensenguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've wondered if certain Ford units could be used, since they are readily
available aftermarket and "look" darn close.  Maybe that's what Eddie got at
O'Reilly's.  They are called a "Vacuum Actuator" or "Vacuum Motor" in the
parts books (Emissions Section).  I noticed they are about $10-$20 bucks a
pop on Rock Auto (I looked one up for an '85 LTD just for grins).

On the vacuum actuator, I needed to replace a frozen up one on my 88 Eagle a

few years ago and it was found over counter at O'Reillys. I had to drill out

the factory rivets on snorkle, and replace with screws but otherwise 
everything worked as should. And passed emissions also. I sprayed the little

vent door down with some WD-40 also,. I don't remember what the parts house 
called it but it was not actuator, I took whole assembly up to them to check

out was not problem matching it. Good luck,

Any idea on what would really stick to the diaphragm?Any suggestions or 
souce of a *new* replacement diaphragm or vacuum actuator?
