Vacuum Pump Question I ended up buying a vacuum pump setup that was on a race car with relocated water pump and pretty much turned it into a GZ Motorsports LSX kit. Well in that kit it called for -10an lines and this one i have is all setup for -12an lines and I'm curious if it is going to be an issue? I have their nicer vacuum valve on the head unit and can adjust it if need be but there isn't any real info out there so figured i'd ask if the lines would affect pressure.
Also where can you find those rubber nipples to go over the valve cover breather line and valley cover line that is suppose to go up to the intake in a "U" shape? I lost one and sold the vacuum kit so need to cap off those 2 spots where a line use to be.

On the rubber nipples, I've gotten them at Orielys.

Ya I found them at oriellys, just need to make sure the lines are setup correct to the pump and it is done. Going to order a vacuum/boost gauge in the dash so I can see how much it's pulling. Figured put it where the hvac ***** are since I'm losing ac. How much were you pulling when you had it on last? Guessing I just adjust the valve on the pump, is right higher or lower vacuum? Not sure how to even adjust it since it's so tight.

Can't remember. left or right, just watch the gauge and it'll be easy to figure out.

Guess I need to buy a vacuum gauge lol. So you were right in the middle of the operating range they want. Buying your parts and then what i needed for it to work almost put me at cost of buying new but when i change my setup i'll use the mandrel setup eventually i hope. Deleting the A/C and Heat so the HVAC guages are going bye bye and in goes 3 gauges.
