Yup, it's all vacuum operated. You should be able to trace a vacuum line running from your intake manifold over to the passenger side of the engine compartment. There you'll find a vacuum reservoir that's white plastic about the size of a 1 liter bottle. Lines wil run from there up to two vacuum solenoids located on the pass. inside fender. Form there a line runs into the firewall to your control panel. These lines are notorious for cracking over the years and loosing your vacuum. Check them out. I'll bet they're cracked or even disconnected.
