Just a quick update to my original post (which I have edited). The vacuum pod rebuild kits sold by Performance Analysis company work on single-chamber, large size pods only. That means for the 124 it will rebuild the center vent pod and that's it. On a 123, same deal, center vent pod only (possibly the footwell flap, I'm not sure). The 124 diverter pod is smaller, and the older 124's have a rectangular footwell pod.

For the dual-chamber pods, the rebuild kit will fix the forward (small lift) section only. The rear (large lift) section is non-rebuildable! The kit has an interesting way to get around that, and it looks great, but DOES NOT WORK. It looks like it works, but when you apply vacuum and measure the rod travel on a new one (or good used one), compare that to the freshly rebuilt pod. The rebuild simply does not have as much travel. It all makes sense when you see it, but it's very hard to describe. That means if you use the rebuild kit, your pod won't fully open the flap it's connected to! And considering the amount of work needed to pull the dash & replace these things, you don't want to screw around. Buy NEW pods - for EVERYTHING - and replace them all at once. Believe me, it's worth it, and having the system work as intended is a beautiful thing!
