Help me find where to buy last pieace for my MEVI!!

I have in boxes
-MEVI
-Vaccume canister with built in checkvalve
-vaccume hoses
-Summit Racing RPM switch(with Reset instructions)
-Relay switch 30amp

Now i only need to find out where to buy the CORRECT SOLENOID!

i ordered one online but i dont think i got the correct one it is GM part # 1997152.

i dunno if this is right since its a GM part for my imported maxima.... im not sure what to do so if anyone could just lead me to the right place too buy the GM solenoid i would greatly appriciate it. Somone told me there is a daws dual solenoid, but thier websites does not have it. The bible doesnt help me much with the MEVI. So i need somone who has thier MEVI up and running possibly an exact website or anywhere i can order this part. Please someone pull thru for me im really struggling

Every Nissan in every junkyard has a vacuum solenoid. I think Sentras have about five of them. They're pretty much all the same and shouldn't cost you more than about $10.

The GM solenoid will work. There are plenty of us with them.

Out of the box the GM solenoid will work. deezo can corrrect me if I'm wrong, I'll know better after I install mine this weekend. The chromed port is open to air, the one that you can blow through connects to the MEVI actuator and the final port to your vacuum canister.

deezo... how did you connect to the Gm solenoid electrical contacts? I've tried finding the correct GM pigtail harness but no luck

Ok...got it worked out today...
If you are using the GM ported vacuum solenoid part# 1997152, you can use the pigtail with part# 1210-1857.
You will need to cut a slot down the center between the contacts to properly fit the solenoid. Easier done than said ..just use a sharp utility knife.

Cheers!

p.s.
The dang pigtail is worth more than the solenoid! About $22! At least it will be a clean install
