Well Folks,
Ford used the same Vacuum motors in their AC systems (and a few other places) on many/most cars from the late 60's thru at least the late 70's. The only replacements seem to be "one size fits all" units that require at least some mounting mods, not to mention being extremely pricey, or NOS, even more pricey with questionable longevity due to the age of the rubber diaphragms! Futzing with modification/fitment in the tight spaces they're located in just seems like a royal pain the A$$, at best! Is there any electric, DC motor alternative? Heck, I could even deal with simply converting the most used ones to manual cable operation.
Any tips/thoughts are welcomed.
Thanx,
Gene
