Guess that's the problem with making certain assumptions. My reasoning was based on the relative sizes of the vacuum hose servicing the brakes vs the size of the vacuum hose servicing the rest of the vehicle.
It turns out to be true that exhaust port on the pump is actually smaller than the ID of the nylon vacuum lines
This whole project is beginning to look more and more unworkable. The good news is that I've only got $20 and a few hours into it to this point. |
That's why it's going on my 240 with stick, but, I'm still going to make a pvc pipe vac res. I don't expect the pump to run all that much.
