Vacuum pump fix

[camoyj7]

This was my vacuum pump fix. Most of the parts store discontinued selling the vacuum pump for the Cucv's. I found NOS ones for around $150-180 + shipping but didn't want to buy one with a 30 year old rubber diaphragm. I searched vacuum pumps for all other makes and found this one. It's for an 1995 diesel Ford van. I took the chance and spent $79.90 off of E-bay. The diaphragm heads are as close to the same as you're going to find. When swapping the heads make sure to check the cam in your original housing and add some oil. I used all of the oil from the van's pump housing. It's all together and works great,

Did it have a manufactured date on it or on the packaging?

Didn't see one.
