I think you should check out some You-Pull-It yards before you pull the trigger on ordering a new part.

I have found that in the world of auto parts, the greater the level of organization, the higher the price.

The level of organization from higher to lower is:
  • Original manufacturer replacement parts dealer stores
  • Second party parts stores
  • Businesses that sell used parts that are organized & cataloged
  • Businesses that sell used parts that are NOT organized & cataloged (AKA: You-Pull-It yards)
  • Businesses that buy (& sell) scrap metal
  • Trash dumps

So, you can't call a You-Pull-It yard to see if they have the part, because they do not know. But you can go to one, and find the part and pay maybe $15 or less.

With the money you save, you could buy your own vacuum pump.
