HOW to connect to vac pump??? OK guys, Seen this can on a site and was wondering how its meant to be connected to a belt driven vac. pump.

Can THANK YOU!!!! LOL!!!I cant understand this one either,Im gonna be using the same type pump that this guys sale,so I figuired mybe,I'de use their can. Thanks guy, I thought the same thing, My first thought was mybe by them building the can this way and putting the regulater aft the exhaust,They could control vac by restricting the exhaust on the pump therein reducing vac ,but that isnt the case with the DAMN filter on top! LOL!! NEXT!!!!LOL!!

I think that would be correct ,if instead of an exhaust ,it were the vac source from the pump ,then this would work.But there saying the exhaust side of the vac pump goes here????Thats whats messin with me LOL!!

The way I'm picturing it, probably wrong??, the regulator is on the suction side as always. It opens to the air to relieve pressure, which means you can suck in any dirt or whatever. This can goes to the regulator relief input.
The suction input still goes to valve cover or valley. If my scanner didn't die, I would draft it up. Sorry.
Same reason I won't use a jet in a valve cover system. I want my stuff sealed & dirt free if possible.
Just to add, the pump & regulator both go to can. Exhaust out as always, regulator as filtered air in.
If I make any sense??

Figured It Out! 
OK guys ,I called Chris at Jones performance and He explained that with this can and a belt driven vac pump, you would connect each one of the 2 vac inlets from the vac pump to each valve cover and then run the exhaust port of the vac pump to the can and out threw the other port to their regulator and back into the rear of one of the other valve covers .Also they dont but the regulator in line with the suck side of either of these,like morroso does because buy doing so your regulating the vac before the engine, thats why they run theres after the can and into the back side of either valve cover ,therein creating more of a closed loop type vac system,incase of an engine vac leak else where like a rear main or valve cover. Sounded good to me! What do you guys think?Im guessing the regulator is closed up intill your desired vac,untill the vac overcomes the set spring tention,
opening the regulator slightly ,letting in filtered air The more I think about it the more it makes sense.If you were regulating off off the suck side like the morroso kit,your regulating the pump. But with this setup your actually regulating the crank case vac
