Any further input on old actuators? Mine are just wasting space on my workbench with the hoses/clips/solenoid. I haven't removed the old tank yet, but will once I stop being lazy.

Cool! I picked that one a couple of months ago at the grocery store. They also had a stack of the 50th anniversary Cougar ones as well. It seems the Cougar Hot Wheels are unloved around here.

Correct, from my ‘67.

I’m unsure if anyone would need my old vacuum actuators. The nipple for the hose on the bottom is AWOL on one of them, they weren’t functional, and they do have paint overspray. I didn’t want to just toss them if they were of use to someone, or if they could be rebuilt. My car isn’t anything rare, s...
