First of all, the vacuum 'motor' is nothing more than a double acting diaphram - simple stuff. I got into this due to the plastic vacuum lines getting melted by the exhaust pipe & by just falling apart from age. I was able to salvage the setup by inserting the old vacuum lines inside small plastic tubes used in a drip irrigation system. A little silicone sealed the whole thing up. It goes without saying that the lines are routed away from the ezhaust pipe - doesn't it?
If I had to replace the vacuum arrangement (I was told this is a $200.00 item - yeah right!). I'd remove the 'motor', cut the can off, hook up a Telex cable (top quality push/pull) to the 'motor' rod, add a pivot point, hook up the other end of the cable under the dash & never again worry about the vacuum crap.
