I put in a call to Summit about getting a vacuum pump and they told me the Moroso and others don't last long on a street car. So I'm thinking about using a smog pump as they are cheap to replace if they go bad every so often. Does anyone know how to go about this & how effective are they? Thanks!!!!!!
I used a FORD pump on my car for the first few years.......Decent vacuum,Around 7-9" down track. I believe the application was a 1.9L,4-cyl,Escort from the late 80's I still have it,We made some cool fittings to allow use of -10 AN fittings. I pulled vacuum from the dr. side valve cover. Longevity on these is helped by not driving them too hard,Mine was 3 1/2" pulley on the pump and 2'' on the crank.
Other options...... Maybe try this. About half the price. Basically smog pump reconditioned and setup for vaccum>>> http://www.gzmotorsports.com/
Too much vacuum. A powerstroke vac pump pulls about 24" of vacuum and I don't think it would stand up to much oil either.
