Vacuum idea
Oldsmobile diesel engines have the vacuum pump where the gasoline models have the distributor. If i convert my gasoline engine to crank trigger type of ignition and thus don't need the distributor, could I just bolt the diesel vacuum pump in place of dist and have plenty of vacuum for brakes?

Yes, I'm considering fully programmable multi coil wasted spark system, so I would not need distributor at all. My engine does not make great vacuum numbers causing the brakes are not exellent. What I really wanted to know does this vacuum pump bolt on in place of my distributor?

How about using MSD programmable ignition and locking your points distributor, and using one of those alternators with vacuum pump? If you want programmable ignition. I quess it would be easier to fabricate some new hangers and maybe new wheel for belt?

Joe, do you know what was the purpose of 5,7 diesel vacuum pump in my link in previous post? Was it for brakes or air ventilation only? Or both? This is not clear to me, because I remember there was hydraulic brake boosters in diesel engined cars, working with power steering pump.

What is your plan with ignition?

Ah. Then that rules out my whole suggestion.
I bought back then whole MSD-set, one thing was that HEI wont fit with dual-quads. Other reason was ease. Probillet distributor, programmable 6al2 digital and vacuum sensor ( which is also adjustable, vacuum advance, i mean) along with external coil. Plug & pray. Not actually cheap, but nothing is with these so..

Of course, the HVAC system also requires engine vacuum to operate the flapper doors, so the vacuum pump provided that vacuum as well. The brakes on diesel cars were hydroboost, so no vacuum required. I don't know if the output of that pump would be adequate for brakes and trans and HVAC.
