The Viair 280C is the one I have been using and selling for several
years. It is quite adaquate, without over kill. I have never had one
fail! I am a dealer. I sell it complete with special Bricklin mounting
bracket for $ 235 plus freight. You can check out my parts and prices
at californiabricklinowners.org Just click on "links" and JBW

You are making the absolute correct decision to junk the vacuum unit.
Good luck
