A down side of the all electric systems is the fact that electric gyros =
- Attitude and Direction Gyro cost about 3-4 times as much as vacuum =
gyros. If they lasted any longer, ok. But they don't. Electric gyros =
have about the same life as vacuum gyros. If you are going all =
electric, try to use the new electronic Blue Mountain, Dynon, or other =
non-mechanical gyros.
This didn't answer your question about how to mount your vacuum pump on =
your V8, but is a data point as you build info for your decision.
Let us know what you decide!

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=20
installed and would like some ideas on how other people
attacked the Vacuum system. I thought of a electrical=20
driven vacuum pump but do not know how much=20
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
