Recirculate Air Door Vacuum Actuator

Olds64 · 09-12-2007, 05:43 AM

Heya! I recently took the air plenum out from underneath my dash. I had a leaking heater core and I needed to re route all of my vacuum controls so my air doors work correctly. It turns out that one of my vacuum actuators is busted. The recirculate air door actuator is bad. It is the one with two vacuum ports in it that is mounted on the outside of the housing in the engine bay. It opens the door 80% of the way when the AC is set to vent and then closes it when you set it to recirculate. Does anyone know where I can get one of these air door actuators? I went to the local auto parts store and they didn't even have generic ones. I figure they are pretty common in early GM cars. Where should I look for one of these? I can always put a cable in to operate the air door but that would be sort of a bummer. Any suggestions? Oh, BTW, my car does have AC.

I haven't looked in my Kanter catalog. And I don't think Fusick has any right now. They carry stuff like that from time to time in their NOS insert. I might just have to search through local salvage yards.
