Question about wastegate acuator

[85buick85]

My wastegate acuator is bad and i have been looking for a new one and all i see is the 87 adjustable which is fine but will it work since the 85 has 2 vacuum ports and the 87 has one. Any info would be great

The 87 single vacuum port actuator runs just fine. I use it on my car. I can send your the one page diagram of how it is installed and which vacuum line to close off. The downside of this actuator is the rubbing on the hoodliner. Mine has dug a small hole in the material. Brad

You are correct. Adjust the bolt pattern as well. Brad
