Default brake vacuum pump

is there anybody using individual throttle bodies with a vacuum pump for the brakes? if so, what vacuum pump are you using and where did you find it? i know i can use some early to mid eighties gm vacuum pumps but can't find one at any of my local salvage yards. could someone please help me source one that works.
thanks

Some of the Cadillacs used electrical pumps for the power brakes. So, you could go in and ask a dealer what cars to look for.

Another source that is pretty common is RV shops. They use them also.

If that doesn't do it for you, look through some of the street rod magazines.

yeah, there is actually only one cadillac model that used the pump, which is the cimarron. they are pretty hard to find. i found some for 138 bucks but i was wondering if any of you have any local salvage yards that maybe you could hook me up with their number. thanks
