You are DAMAN 
I am NOT ignoring you....this darn system is so slow tonight I can hardly stand it
I just had a bad day
What you say as a solution I am doing all of that. I just got back from experimenting exactly as you suggested (after spending the last couple hours trying to dry out my cell phone) hot wiring a spare vacuum pump I have and using a long spare roll of vacuum line connected to each secondary.
Do you want to hear how the ole experiment went
Well....The actuators were first installed correctly for the experiment (they were backward before) with the short leg of the shaft "L" facing toward center of engine......(the short leg of the "L" was facing outward before and incorrectly causing the actuator shaft to be angled toward the outside of the engine toward the actuator)......
When I applied a vacuum to either actuator, the first motion of the "L" was toward the center of the engine a bit (toward the direction of the short leg of the "L"). Both actuators moved from that point smoothly pulling the secondary.
Now.....
32valveZ if I rotate both actuators back the "wrong way" like they were.....with the short leg of the shaft "L" facing outward and with the resulting greater angle of the shaft........the first motion was outward in the direction of the short leg of the "L" tending to make the angle of the shaft less and that side motion was greater than it was when they were installed correctly with the starting angle of the actuator shaft less.
So....what you are saying
32valveZ is that since these actuator shafts started with a greater side motion when installed incorrectly there is prolly much greater fatigue of the rubber which is suppose to hold the vacuum.
And now if one were to keep those secondary actuators (installed now correctly) the motion of the actuator shaft has now changed considerably and as such would not be reliable especially given the work to replace them involves removal of the plenum and other crapola
