I'm not familiar with the alternator/vacuum pump set up as he indicates. His description begs the question as to whether or not the vacuum pump DRAWS the oil from the engine or does it simply require pressure oil supplied to it. i.e. does that vacuum pump double as an oil pump too???

Either way, i would be suspicous that the vacuum pump will rob oil/pressure from the engine.
