I agree with electrical. If you are not comfortable with solid state, RC
Allen makes electric gyros for sale at aircraft spruce.
Much easier to design a redundant electrical system than redundant vacuum.

Go solid state. I built a bracket for a vacuum pump on my PSRU and even
had a retractable vacuum venturi.They sucked. I removed them both for an
electric gyro with a palm unit as a backup. Why put unreliable dinosaur
parts on a new plane?

Subject: REFLECTOR:V8 Vacuum system
Is there any one out there who put a vacuum system
on an auto conversion? I have a Chevy V8
installed and would like some ideas on how other people
attacked the Vacuum system. I thought of a electrical
driven vacuum pump but do not know how much
vacuum I need to pull. I bought a engine driven aircraft pump. But with
it I need to find out what Rpm it needs to be run at? Where it mount it
?And how I might install it.
Or should I just give up on the vacuum system all to gerther
and go all electrical.
Thank you Wise ones
Ron
