Jeff,

Just for your data bank, the vacuum pump failed on my 320 after 824 Tach
hours.  I always fly VFR just for failure fears of the vacuum system.  I
will up or down through an overcast with good vis above and below but NEVER
hard IFR enroute.  And I'm an 11,000 hours type, military/corporate.  Yours
is good advise.
