~ Thanks for the reply...This vacuum "distributor" has 6 hoses coming off of it, one is the supply. The body is aluminum and has 2 halves and is reveted together and has a clip on the underside, has 2 screw holes.
~ I sprayed it good with PB blaster and attempted to drill the rivet and gave up, then peened the rivet to tighten the two body halves. It turns smoothly, however, I think I remember reading that the Corvette uses the same one. I went to Eklers dot com and found what appears to be the correct component, ordered it, should be here by Tuesday.
~ Bought ...another tool...a hand held vacuum tester brake bleeder tool. I connected it to the rubber hose octopus, one hose at a time and did observe the main door move open...then connected to a different hose and observed the main center door close. I observed the air change ( blower ON ) from the defrost vents to the AC vents. I feel like the diaphrams are OK.
~ If this part for the Corvette turns out to be the correct part...(25.00) I will post either my sucess or failure.....peace
