68 trunk release?

Chris, are you sure it operates with the engine off?  My 68 LeBaron has the 
same vacuum operated unit, but it will not release with the engine off.  The 
only way I can see yours working with the engine off is if there is an 
accumulator that provides vacuum for a while (and on my car its leaking or 
something).  But even then, it will only work a few minutes after the engine is 
off...
