Well got the actuator today got it on after a bit, much more power, I have a few more vacuum lines to replace then need to get the vacuum pump again and see if the actuator is adjusted right. Will drive it tomorrow and see how it goes on a longer run, so far so good.

Thanks for all the very useful information!!!

Go to eBay a find a Mityvac Silverline MV8500. It's made of metal instead of plastic. The MV8500 also comes with a nice, plastic carrying case.

The plastic Mityvacs work fine, but are prone to breaking after years of use. If you'll likely only use the Mityvac occasionally, the plastic will do but if you plan on using one regularly for years to come - go metal.

I stopped by Harbor Freight and picked one up for $20 after a coupon seen the mityvac but passed was about $15 more.

Looked like it was adjusted very close based on your video. Thanks again!!
