I have a 41 Chevy 1.5 ton, with the original 216. It turns out that the diaphram in my fuel pump was torn, and I knew a guy who had one I could get easily (beer for fuel pump). Anyway, he had a nice rebuilt fuel/ vacuum pump combo so I took it. Now heres my question, how do I hook up the vacuum lines, can I just cap the vac lines and not use that part of the pump? Whats the best way to do this? Thanks for the help guys.

you can not block them off, one has to have atmospheric pressure for the pump to work properly

Okay, so how does the vacuum part of the pump hook up to the truck? Anybody have a diagram?
