Subject: IML: Parking Brake Vacuum Actuator & Parking Brake Vacuum Valve, for 78 NYB

I have a vacuum leak, which you can hear coming from behind my dash. 
Apparently, it is coming from the Parking Brake Vacuum Valve, which is on my 
steering column.  I have a tilt column.  My mechanic looked at my 1978 
Chassis-Body Service Manual, on page 5-33.

He says I need the (according to the manual terminology) Parking Brake 
Vacuum Actuator, which sits right beside the foot pedal, in Fig. 7, and the 
Parking Brake Vacuum Valve, which is attached to the steering column, in 
Fig. 8.

The local dealers are not very helpful.  Previously, one of them gave me an 
incorrect part number, which led me to purchase the wrong part, in the past. 
If someone could give me the correct part numbers, that would be a big help, 
or, better yet, does someone have those parts and wish to sell them????  I 
looked through my own collection of spare parts, without finding them.
