Current have a vacuum motor to run my power brakes, however i am in the process of removing my booster and running manual disc brakes. Have all the parts ready. Here's the question: could i use the vacuum motor that is already there to run a vacuum distributor?

Vac advance is designed for better emissons and mpgs. [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

You don't want the added vacuum under load, because it will detonate. And having the added vacuum while not under load will keep the plugs cleaner. With a vacuum pump, it does not change when under load, it is a constant vacuum. Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

However with a 528 with a 1050 I somehow don't think highway cruising is what the car was built for...
