I took my vacuum motor and squirted 3-in-1 light oil in all the openings and worked the lever back and forth. That helped a lot. Like Tim said, use your manifold vacuum in series as the "fore pump" for your fuel pump. This has worked fairly well for me 1948 3/4-Ton 5-Window Flatbed Chevrolet 34 Years. Now with a '61 261, 848 head, Rochester Monojet carb, SM420 4-speed, 4.10 rear, dual reservoir MC, Bendix up front, 235/85R16 tires, 12-volt w/alternator, electric wipers and a modern radio in the glove box.
