REFLECTOR: Vacuum pump

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

That has been tried & failed. Between moisture and pulsing (unless you have a Big vacuum tank with a dryer). Last guy that I know tried it had to replace all his instruments.

How about a line from the intake manifold?

I just replaced mine and tried to figure a way to eliminate it... Anyone using a venturi??? With our speed they should pull hard...
They would look a little 'retro' but would be easier than replacing these disposable Rapcos.

Bob,

Don't forget to blow out the vacuum line and clean/replace the air filter.
