My 84 Van has a vacuum pump to run the cruise control and HVAC, I had to replace it last year with a rebuilt unit and it let go the other day. Its a royal pain to replace and not cheap, even though its under warranty so anyone know of a electric vacuum pump so I can ditch the mechanical unit?

I have had worse luck with the electric pumps than the hydraulic. IE Grand National powermaster and Reatta Tevis II. Can you say $hit. Maybe aftermarket pumps are better.

I've been doing more research and Ford used a electric vacuum pump and yeah, they had issues BUT they've redesigned the pump and it supposed to be ok now. I think I'll go that route, a new pump is cheaper than the vacuum pump I have on now so I'll return it and buy the electric one.
