Looking to see what people are using for vac pumps on a 355.
My class is alowing us to use one and I would like to know what to buy.
Thanks

i have a friend who was trying various vacuum pumps on one of his projects..

he ended up with an electric air injection pump off a newer gm...

he was really happy with it..

just an idea...   i don't know if it's legal...

creative people might rig it up with an adjustable vacuum switch controlling a relay so it only runs when the intake manifold vacuum drops.. below idle levels..  so its not running all the time..

he and i were discussing a baffled can stuffed with chore boys as a oil trap mounted between the engine and the pump..


he did hook up a compound  vacuum/pressure gauge to the valve cover to monitor the crank case vacuum...   think the vacuum gauge /fuel pump pressure tester..   goes from 30 inches of vacuum to 15 pounds of pressure..   with 5/16 hose so it moves fast...


this is one gauge..  like i am talking about..

but something like this is what he used.       just to give you an idea...
