    Posted: Jan/07/2021 at 4:13pm

I'm looking for a source for the vacuum "motor" that sits on top of the evaporator housing.  It's part number 3212075.  This is the vacuum motor that controls the dash vents on a/c cars (71-72 Javelin).  When the dash switch is set to open, engine vacuum causes this to move a lever to route a/c air to the dash vents. No luck at the "big three" AMC parts vendors.  Anyone know if there's an equivalent or after market part that will work? 

Looks like Ford trucks use something similar, so hopefully I can find something that I can modify to work if I have to.

Thanks!

That looks like the same vacuum motor on the cowl induction air cleaners.

Thanks. I was wondering if that was similar.  Are they available?

You’ll need to make some modifications but this should get you there.

Thanks, Ian.  That's as close to ours as any I've seen so far.

What Ian said. I thought I'd read somewhere that they were similar to a Ford one.
