Source for cruise control vacuum generator?

[davidkerryedwards]

Anyone know a source for the cruise control vacuum generator on an 82
FC 35? I called Bluebird and they don't carry them. Their parts
department had no idea where I might get one. They seemed to think the
vacuum generator came from Ford. Tom Warner posted 3-G Productions,
but while they rebuild Bendix cruise controls, they don't carry vacuum
generators.
If you don't know a source for the generator, can you tell me what the
two output lines on the generator are for? Are they both vacuum
lines? If I can't find an identical replacement I may have to put
something together and I need to know if I need two vacuum outputs or
something else.
My bus needs to suck again.

Found these vacuum generators on the internet. Anyone care to express
an opinion as to whether they would work as a substitute for the
original vacuum generator on an early 80's FC?

Kerry,
There was a forum update offering a generator in the last 10 days or so.
Do a search you may find it.

Thanks. I saw the offer for an electric vacuum pump. After giving it more
thought, I think
the best course of action is to replace the vacuum cruise control with a Rostas
Global cruise
which is electronic. The existing vacuum control was not working consistently
and when I
looked thru the bluebox, I saw that the original owner had taken it back to
Bluebird a number
of times for problems. So, since other members have had success with the
Rostas, I think the
best course of action is to eliminate the need for any vacuum at all.
