Cliff,

The pin worked. For those watching it helps to use a multimeter to verify 12v on the pink wire with key on (before grounding it for the test) to insure contact to the conductor is made. I had to wiggle the pin a bit until I made good contact.

Results: Good news, both secondary vacuum solenoids cycled within about 1 second and the vac. pump cycled a bit longer.

After a drive my air intake duct tends to pull off the air cleaner housing so that gives me another indicator that I am pulling some serious air. I have a new silicone duct from Jerry on the shelf ready to go on
