I have been looking at all kinds of vacuum kits for my new motor and wondered if anyone has ever tried or used these electric vacuum pumps.???? http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/52215K/10002/-1

I have a GM pump on my car that pulls about 5". IIRC the original application was Camaro/Firebird. It's a bit noisy, sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but works fine. Works off Ign run side with a relay. I don't think I have more than $75 in the whole system including puke tank. I put a fitting in one valve cover to check it with a gauge. Probably weighs about 5 lbs for everything.

Let me ask again, BOB & Hemifred..have you ever used one??? or it that just your opinions ???

Well if you want one that works that is electric this is what you need...But be careful good parts dont come cheaply.

Lots of guys that run at local tracks around here run these but. Like Fred said there only used to keep moisture out of the oil on alky motors.

we have been running the same one for maybe a year. it's a gm version, but a ford is the same. it works well, but if you want to pull 8" of vac. it won't do it.
