Hey stupid it is eliminator.


It is the pieces that insert in and do away with the pop up style. It goes to reg fixed mount recessed.

I am considering these to solve my low vaccum problem I think I may encounter when my new motor goes in. Is there another way to get the lights to work with low vaccum? I guess I could put a pump on and I may do that.

So what is the opinion? Are they ugly or cool? Is there another way to get away with not much vaccum?

I've got a big cam with fairly low vacuum and have found it doesnt take a lot of vacuum to operate lights and wiper door.
I set mine up so that the controler (relay) circuit is hooked into the one way valve. The actuators are hooked directly to manifold vacuum and the vacuum tank is eliminated. This way loss of vacuum results in the actuator before the controler relay circuit. No vacuum, to the actuators and nothing moves.
