J-yard vacuum pump

[agjohn02]

no its not for what you think.

a friend needs one because his engine is worn out and not making enough vacuum to work the power brakes well. looking for a cheap fix for now.

any diesel trucks out there with auxillary vacuum pumps on them?

[agjohn02]

preferably electric

Will she have "realistic features" John? I thought you had a girlfriend, but you're right, "bionic girl" will be cheaper in the long run and will never have a headache.

12v

Grand National, but get ready to pay out the ass.

[agjohn02]

ah, good thinking. what about vw diesel cars? trying to find newer stuff as the pump is more likely to be good and available locally.

mid 80's cadillacs would be my guess.

You know, now that I think of it, this may not be that bad of an idea for the camaro. The brakes are good, but the booster has always felt weak at low rpm...might have something to do with the cam...heh

For a car like your camaro, why not hydroboost? I can litteraly do a stoppie in pigpen because I have hydroboost and a modded p/s pump. I would think kickass brakes would be a neccesary upgrade on a car that can scare Jimmy.

Cox, 6.5 diesel trucks with a serpentine belt setup had an accesory mounted vaccuum pump.

A. There is no room for a hydroboost booster
B. There isn't room for any extra hoses
C. The brakes actually work good except at idle. I could probably just get away with a vacuum reservoir.
