Vacum / pressure switch
. I cannot seem to find this vacum switch for my old tow truck project . It is a 1977 Chevrolet c 60. Has vacum brakes, and a vacum switched 2 speed rear end.
I'm pretty sure it is supposed to alarm if the vacum goes under 8 hg . Mine ist kaput, and just alarms randomly, and all the time while driving. It is really loud and annoying . It is also required , so I have to fix it . I have full vacum, and no leaks, verified, by 2 onboard vacum gauges . It looks exactly like any other 2 pole pressure gauge used on cars for as long as I can remember. When I search for it, only pressure switches come up. I have randomly searched for several months now, and have not found one yet. Will a pressure switch set for + hg, also close, and alarm for the same amount of - hg? Im stumped. Here is what it looks like. Threads into a little t fitting tied into my vacum booster vacum feed line. Have any ideas where to find such a thing ??

Well that one does not appear to have any way to adjust it? Remember that anything above 0 PSI is pressure and we think of any thing below 14.7 PSI or 1 atmosphere is a vacuum. So if it where me I'd search for suppliers of heavy duty (C60 class) Chevy truck parts. Good luck.

Search Honeywell 5000 series vacuume switch, there is a variety so you need to know normally open or normally closed contacts, and then what vac range and what terminals for the wires. And then figure out who stocks them.
