vacuum actuators ID

I have an 86 460 cal smog F-350 4x4. Carb is holley 4180. The aircleaner has two (2) vacume doors. the one in the chute which routes warm air from the exhaust manifold. I have found aftermarket vacuum motors for that device. However, on the side back of the air cleaner is another vacuum door approx 1 1/2" x 8". The vacuum operator has a bracket attaching it to the outside of the air cleaner, which is surrounded by a plastic shroud. The device does show on the emissions info in the engine bay. The emissions info says A/CL / DV ( I assume air cleaner diverter valve. ) i have looked at many, many sites on line and find no reference to the back unit. Any ideas or suggestions?

This is inside the plastic 'scoop' on the drivers side of the air fliter housing, right?

No..... I can't find one either.
My post is here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...r-housing.html

So where do we go with this?
I ended up removing the actuator with the associated 'flap' and cross brace, then put foil tape over the hole from the inside for the winter.
I want to get it fixed but don't see ANY markings on what I have removed.
