Which Vacuum Pump to use???
I will be installing a vacuum pump to help out my power brakes and headlights. I have a reserve tank but need a little extra vacuum.
Are there any other less expensive alternatives to buying the $250 pumps from Jeg's? Is anyone out there using a stock vacuum pump from any another vehicle???
Thanks

I'm interested to find out alternatives too. My motor only makes 9" of vacuum at idle with that crazy cam

You'll find these pumps in front of the driver's side front fender well. Look for the vacuum lines running along the fender from the brake booster. Get the electrical plug that goes to the pump and the rubber mounting plate.
The pump is also available new from GM. Various GM part numbers for vacuum pumps are 22062562, 22034995, 24505066, 10090521.
