Yes, John, the smog pump has worked great as a vacuum source. Much better
for me than the two aircraft vacuum pumps I tried. No my version does not
have a clutch, but yes it is heavy approx 9 lbs. You might see if an
earlier smog pump would fit.

If I remember correctly, Ed's using a smog pump for vacuum.
Ed, does yours have a clutch? Mine (3rd gen) does, and its quite heavy.
I'm
trying to figure a way to have it engaged permanently - maybe a few spot
welds around the rim. There doesnt seem to be an easy way to remove the
clutch and run without it because the clutch forms part of the pully.
Any thoughts anyone?
