Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the links. The first link talks about the general idea that
vacuum systems fail over time; the second link is an advertisement for a
book on vacuum systems; and the third link talks about repairing the vacuum
system that operates wiper doors on a `72. I couldn`t access info on
revamping vacuum operated headlights that was a feature article in the Feb.
03 issue of Vette magazine, the link info. source. If you have a
subscription would you mind sending along a link for that issue ? TIA.

Should be pretty much the same as your system, I think.

I do have a subscription, and that issue, but I don`t understand how
that would enable me to give you a web link to part II of the article...
I couldn`t find that installment on their website, either.
In part II they chose to replace every part that Mid America carries
(including both sets of actuator relays and actuators, and all linkage
springs), but recommend the troubleshooting book (The Vacuum System
Troubleshooting Guide by Frank C. Prow, also available through Mid
America), and a vacuum gauge, to determine the specific parts you need.

Title: FDNY NewFigures York Fire Department Helicopter, Cars, Engine Ladder Truck Playset
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2009 19:26:12 +0000
Author: eririnkawaeii
Description
FDNY New York Fire Department Helicopter, Cars, Engine Ladder Truck Playset. These are the toys for every boy who dreams of being a fireman. Offers hours of fun and safe play action. Great as a gift for any occasion.
The New York City Fire Department or the Fire Department City of New York (FDNY) has the responsibility for protecting the citizens and property of New York City’s five boroughs from fires and fire hazards, providing emergency medical services, technical rescue as well as providing first response to biological, chemical and radioactive hazards.
The FDNY, the largest municipal fire department in the United States, has approximately 11,600 uniformed officers and firefighters and over 3,200 uniformed EMTs and paramedics. It faces an extraordinarily varied challenge. In addition to responding to building types that range from wood-frame single family homes to high-rise structures, there are the many bridges and tunnels, large parks and wooded areas that can give rise to major brush fires, and one of the largest subway systems in the world. These challenges add yet another level of firefighting complexity and have led to the creation of the motto for FDNY firefighters of New York’s Bravest.
Organization
Like most fire departments in the United States, the New York City Fire Department is organized in a paramilitary fashion. The department’s executive staff is divided into two areas including a civilian fire commissioner who is in charge of the department and a fire chief who is the operational lead. The current fire commissioner is Nicholas Scoppetta and the current fire chief is Salvatore Cassano. The executive staff includes the civilian fire commissioners who are responsible for bureaus within the Department, along with the Chief of Department, Chief of Fire Operations, Chief of EMS, the Chief Fire Marshal and the staff chiefs. Staff chiefs include the seven citywide tour commanders, the Chief of Safety, and the Chief of Fire Prevention.
