Checking if the ports work
Hey guys 
what's a quick way to check if my 5th and 6th ports open, and open properly? They're pretty difficult to push, however, they're much better than they were before i sprayed them with wd40 and penetrating lube

Get a 3/16 VACU-TITE barbed , plastic pipe from the Pepboys or whatever auto store. Punch or drill a hole in the airpump outlet hose of a size just smaller than 3/16ths. Install the VACU-TITE 3/15 pipe. Run a vac hose b/t there and the inlet pipe for the aux actuators. Start the engine. The actuators should retract on a 86-88. Or just get a shop airhose and with low pressure, aim it at the inlet pipe for the aux actuators. They should retract. Or get yourself a MittyVAc from the LOCAL AUTO SSTORE. Apply pressure at the intake port of the aux actuators. Or put a vac hose on the inlet pipe for the aux actuators and blow like the dickens. The actuators may/ may not retract. Only take 2-3psi to actuate them.
