Post Vacuum fuel pump
Working on cam swap today and the bolts on the cam driven pump turned to dust and are stuck in the block.
If I swap to a vacuum pump where do I hook up the pulse line at on the engine?

You will have to drill and tap your intake and screw in a nipple. I had the same problem. Ended up getting a block off plate for the hole where the old pump was and drilling out the old holes and helecoiling them.

Unless you had that laying around the shop I bet you got more in it than that block off plate from briggs. But I like the idea. I worry that water might get past my block off plate during a heavy rain.
