the vacuum adv gives you much improved gas mileage. What was the test 
that yours failed. I test them by sucking on a clean hose that I 
attach to them and seeing if they move the dist breaker plate. Then I 
stop off the hose with my tongue and watch to see if the breaker 
plate creeps back. Unless it creeps back quickly, it is servicable.
