Default vacuum pump install

got a gz motorsports kit. have crower rockers with LME valve covers. running an msd intake so i assume the only place i can pull from is the valve cover. only thing is i need baffeling if im pulling from the valve cover correct? if so there isnt enough room under the lme covers to do that so ill probably have to get taller covers

I tried one of those several years back, and could not get the pulleys to properly line up with the supplied brackets. The details are fuzzy all these years later, but I ended up never using it. Sorry to be of no help.

Which Crower rocker arms PN? Happen to know the weight over the nose, or can you measure it? Don't ask me how to do so accurately I'm just curious how they compare to OEM & Tony's 10mm rockers.
