What exactly are you looking for?
I know of an Aerospace 3 vane unit that is not being used. We did however switch to a 4 vane Moroso as the Aerospace would only pull 7-8" on a 500" Pontiac (Jeff Kinsler D/R). If this is Something you may be interested in, I am sure Jeff would be willing to work something out with you.

I am not dead set on any one unit, I have some issues with oil seepage that I hope can be solved with a little bit of crankcase vaccum. I also want to try and make a few extra HP, of course. I have never used a vaccum pump but see alot of guys using them. Maybe your advice can lead me in the right direction.
Thanks
Andy

Check out GZ Motorsports. I ran one of their systems for several years with good success. No problem pulling 12"+ vacuum. Also one of the less expensive systems out there and no need to clean the pump.

If you are not running low tension rings, you are not going to want too much crankcase vacuum. 5-10" would be good, I would not go over 10". Having crankcase vacuum can stop small leaks, but is just a bandaid. You will see a small hp gain but the real hp gains are from the use of a low tension ring package coupled with the vac. pump.

Thanks for the advice Don, I am planning on going through my motor this off season to do some freshening and to dial in my set up a little bit better.  I'll do my research on a ring package to take advantage of the crankcase vaccum. I did get a cal from a fellow racer who has a Moroso 4-vane pump he'll sell me, from what I have read that is a pretty good set up. My oil leaks have always been an issue, I run a crankcase evac system now and it just always seems to seep whenever it can, no matter how much effort I make to get my gaskets right.
Thanks again guys!
