Those of You with Engine Vacuum Pumps
I'm deciding on some new upgrades and "goodies" for the '69 this year. One item I'm considering is a mechanical vacuum pump. I've seen good results on race and hot street engines. Other than the expense, the set-up seems to be a win-win.
So, those of you running one on the street, what brands do you like, how much vacuum (inches hg.) are you running? Also, about how much of a HP increase for your set-up? (Dyno tests?)
I've been looking at GZ, Moroso, and Star Systems, as they are highly rated. I have a small block and power steering, so location would be on the passenger side where the A.I.R. pump was. Any pics would be great! Thanks.

This is my set up-not running yet. I have a Moroso vacuum pump with a Moroso bracket and electric wp. I'm not sure how much vacuum I'm sorry and I also have power steering with a remote reservoir and mt vacuum pump is on the same side. I use a type 2 pump.
Motor is BBC obviously.
I don't have back to back dyno comparisons but honestly I didn't do it for hp I did it to help prevent leaks.
If you go on Moroso's website they have nice brackets for alt and vacuum pump but they are for electric wp's. I had to install mine inverted to fit right
