Default Formula (Ram Air) Air Cleaner

I need to replace the vacuum actuators in the snorkels of my 1971 Formula HO/RA air cleaner. I tried using the ones that Ames sells, but they're for GTO's and they will not work. (FYI, Ames told me they were not sure they would work for my application, so they're not to blame here).

It appears that both of my actuators are the same, so I'm thinking there may be just one part number for the actuators. I'm hoping someone can provide a part number for me so I can try and find NOS or aftermarket replacement actuators.

I did find some that might work (see link below), but they do not sell the actuators separately, you have to buy the entire kit and I'd rather not do that yet.

The black actuators in the pictures are the ones I got from Ames. The rod coming out of the actuators are too long, and they point in different directions, while the original actuator rods are shorter and point in the same direction.
