Looking for a vacuum pump and it seems no one has the s-tec one that goes for about $130 in stock. Is the oem the only good one available right now?

Why do you think you need a new vacuum pump? There are oring kits on eBay that will allow you to rebuild your pump. Just pull it apart and clean it up.

Its a little noisy on startup, car has 167k, figure if the $130 one is available, its cheap insurance against a failure that takes out the timing
