I'm sure that looks a lot better in person Brian, but from the pic, your balls :P look a bit out of place. Oh and you might want to re-adjust them a tad. :P

That's kind of what I figured, but since I've never had one, I never really had a reference for it. Is that why my HVAC controls don't work? LOL (that and the cam :? )

the HVAC controls should still work.
theres one little vac line that tees off at the brake booster line, it runs inside to the dash. check it and make sure theres no cracks in it and it's connected.
mine had a little hole in it, leaked just enough so my HVAC controls wouldn't work.

Dodge makes a Vaccuum check valve that is very large about 1 1/2 inches in diameter by 2 inches long.

This holds a good vaccuum under load, so that your vents don't change position, similar to our "Egg Crates". You could do away with the "Egg Crate" by installing one of those.

They are on all Dodge Caravans from 1992 to 1995 that I know of. They are located next to the brake booster and left of the throttle body.

Well the oil gerpumpin ist kaput. so I have to order a new one, I am hoping that NOPI has one for less than the other stores around as 200 to 139 is a little steep as I can get it for 59 for a 2.0 off the web.

so if any of yall know a good place locally to get one other than the same tired old stores. LET me know.

ps got the Bee-Sting antenna to replace the uggggly one that was on the car when I bought it.

so that is about all I have done today.

Brian, I have an oil pump that was in working condition when I pulled it from Cristines cabby. I swapped it for a 2.0 pump. I also have one that in like new condition, but I think it's still attached to the lump that came out of the crabby cabby.

you can have whichever one we can locate to help ya get her back up and running. Only cost would be the trip out here.

I'll be at work tomorrow, but feel free to call me there 770-423-7832 (9am-6pm) and let me know. If I don't answer, I might be in a meeting, just leave a vmail, it will page me.

7am, ick, my eye's arn't even cracked open by then, lol. :P

however, I'll PM ya my cell # for anything outside of work hours. I'm almost certain that the "almost new" pump is on the bottom of the orginal engine from the crabby cabby. Problem is, there is a ladder and scirocco interior in the way. Ahh hell, I need to clean up in there anyway. I'll see if I can get to it when I get home tonight.
