No not asking for the wife, hell not sure she know if seen one.LOL

Looking to remove some clutter off front of engine. Vacuum pump relocated with not drive belt would be huge.

Since not going to new ring package until get rods for other crank I can either keep what there for now or go pan vac system.Yea know all other benifits of vacuum pump.

Wondering if any run eilectirc vacuum pump? OIf so what brand thoughts? Have seen few on speedway and other site and like input form anyone running one.

A mechanical vacuum pump increases in RPM and vacuum same as motor and creates more vacuum as needed. Electric vacuum pump will not do much even at idle and will get WORSE as RPM goes up because it stays same rpm.

You said you are not going to new ring package at this time. Sounds to me like you are not pulling much vacuum as is? That is probably not your ring package. That may be an intake leak, air leak around distributor, valve covers, oil pan, timing cover, dip stick tube or something like that. Smoke test motor and tell us what you learned.

Pan evac system is not going to do anything if you do not fix those leaks. With Zoomies maybe even less. Electric pump would be a waste of time and money if you still have those leaks. Smoke test motor.

A mechanical vacuum pump is the best, lowest cost, most efficient way to get vacuum. The only reason some run pan evac or electric pump is like in Super Stock or some other class where mechanical pump is not allowed.

None of us like the look of a vacuum pump or the extra belt up front but we run them because it works best by far.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
