Paul and All,
      Has anyone on the group come up with any numbers
on the Cad. vacuum pump capacity(How many instruments
it will pull)?

Don't think so. Not so far.

I don't know it's capacity in # of instruments, but it pulls about a
20-24 psi vacuum so it should be plenty.  Others on the rah ng say
they've been using it for years.

20-24 psi vacuum????? No way!!!! 15 psi is absolutely no air at all.
That is as low as you can get. Nothing there! No air molecules!! Nada!!!

 I believe that the gentleman MEANT to say 20-24 inches of mercury. (This of
course is on a closed system) These pumps were also found on early 80s
Oldsmobile diesels. The Oldsmobiles came with either 4.3L V-6 or 5.7L V-8
diesel engines. I had a 1983 Olds Cutlass Ciera with the 4.3L V-6. I know
that there were many problems with the 5.7L V-8 engine. My V-6 ran very well
and for a long time. I've never measured the capacity of these pumps. I
suspect that it would be more than sufficient though. In my limited
experience, this pump was durable.
