is there any way to get vacuum for the booster for for the brakes? i searched the forum but didn't find much.
to the junk yard it is, thanks for the info.if you looking for vacuum. I have found with a few of my builds that many gasoline 4 cyclinder gm engines came with factory vacuum pump. i have used one on my hot rod and a friends jeep, super easy to set up and mine hold 20" hg within 3 secs. and never drops below 16"hg i used a summit racing vacuum bottle which worked out great...extra volume. I went to the junk yard to get a core, and tested it and it worked fine so it still sits under my rod and works great $30. I planned on buying a reman unit and using the other as a core. but it end up working great
I left the web page for summitracing vacuum can, vacuum pump source, vacuum pump info.

I'm curious how it turned out for you. I already have upgraded my brake booster on my Bronco with a dual-diaphragm one off an F350 (I think it was...it was a long time ago), so vacuum-boost has worked fine for me up to now and I am thinking a 12V pump with a canister for more volume would be the simplest way to get my brakes back to full operation. With the added bonus of having full brakes even if the engine isn't running. A good bonus on an off-road play truck, I think.i think i am going with an electric style pump.
Mark - you need to explain how this is possible, or you will deserve flames.If you're NOT running a turbo (who isn't?) you can pull vacuum from the engine for your accessories.
Mark, you simply have no clue at all. There isn't any restriction in a diesel engine air intake. No venturi, no throttle plate.It explains itself.
Pick the statement apart, read it closer, and get back to me.
Think "Naturally Aspirated".
It does not make sense. There is no restriction in a diesel engine air intake, whther it is turbo or not.Yeah, doesn't that make sense? If you aren't running a turbo, which pressurizes the intake, then the intake will be under vacuum just like a typical gas engine is. You won't have access to High Vacuum that would come under the throttle plate (since their isn't one), but Low Vacuum type accessories would work.
If 15" is plugged, 5" under normal operation wouldn't surprise me.What is Cummins Filtration's recommended air filter element change interval?
Cummins Filtration recommends changing air filter elements when they have reached about
80% of the engine manufacturer's maximum allowable restriction. As a general guide, this
ranges from 375 to 500 mm (15-20") of water gauge restriction for naturally aspirated
engines and 500 to 700 mm (20-30") for turbocharged engines.
I just can't believe the amount of wrong information in this thread.If 15" is plugged, 5" under normal operation wouldn't surprise me.
