1. Vacuum issue. If I put the heat on and get on the boost, the temp lever moves by itself to cold. I have a fix that should take me all of about 2 minutes.
2. Smoking issue. I have a possible solution that will hopefully work out and not be difficult.
3. Bought some new parts. They arrived yesterday and I need to install. Looks like it will not be easy. I see the need to use the heat gun as a strong possibility to get fit just perfect. Something I've been wanting to do for a very long time, but resisted since I've always wanted to keep the outside looking like stock. Thinking this will be a subtle, but good looking addition to smooth out the lines.
