Buoymaker, I gotta remember something from 17 years ago (that link)??! That's a challenge for me!!
I used the manifold vacuum as a "fore pump" on the dual stage fuel pump that I talked about in 2005. No vacuum reservoir. Eventually (I think) it didn't work as well (I think) but I didn't troubleshoot it. I ordered an electric motor from LMC in 2007. The one I got was supposedly for 6V and 12V which sounded nice if I switched from 6 to 12.
At 6V the wipers went nuts and I had to put one of those ceramic resistors in the circuit. When I switched to 12V, I still needed the resistor to slow things down.
