vacuum pump line size - yota4life - 07-29-2014
Does anyone know the size of the vacuum pump line. Tried googling but came up with nothing. Thanks in advance

About 8-9mm ID. 3/8" hydraulic hose nicely fits over the barbed outlet(inlet?) of the vacuum pump - assuming you mean the engine powered vac pump not electric central locking variety..

If I remove the alda do I need a block off plate or will it being open be fine?

It need to be blocked off. You can heat the hose at the manifold side with a lighter and pull it off the barb. THen you have a nice place to get a feed for your boost gauge.

OK cool thanks for the reply. I tried starting it today and she won't fire just cranks and nothing. Loosened 2 injector lines and she's getting fuel but I think there's air in it still kinda bubbled out. What's the best way to get all the air out

I've found that it takes quite a bit of cranking to get fuel all the way through the system. Like it may even take 1.5 minutes. I have not actually timed it, but its easily long enough to think "This isn't working, something must be wrong!"
