Default need info on

It seems that my VAS module is burned out. If i understand this thing it regulates the vac that is going to my distributor. It is not activating and allowing for advance. Is this thing still available? and does anyone know how I can test this thing while off of the car?? it seems like I should be able to send 12 volts into it and see or hear the plunger retract?? also if i understand correctly the unit for 72s is differant than others. any information on this item or how the whole TCS system works would really be great. It really sucks having the engine stagger when i want to get on it.
