mity vac price??
Greetings,
I am preparing to do all the vacuum lines in the engine compartment on my '83S euro. Do I need to get a "Mity Vac" unit and if so, what should I expect to pay for it?
TIA <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

Thanks Scott,
I checked with local auto parts stores and could not find anything for less than $45.00 and there seem to be lots of variations. What did you buy for 25.00 and what do I need?

My AutoZone had only one and it was hanging in the tools section. I think the packaging referred to it as a hand vacuum pump. It can also be used as a brake bleeder so you may find it near other brake system repair tools. I didn't realize that it was a Mity Vac brand until I got it home.
You can order it online at <a href="http://www.autozone.com" target="_blank">AutoZone</a>. Do a search for "Mity Vac pump".

The cheaper one is made of plastic, which I'm told is adequate. Tool Warehouse has the metal one (MIT 4000) for $43. Check the website:

Thanks for the help guys.
I ended up getting a metal one that was part of a kit. Cost $53. More that I was hoping to spend, but it was available and so rather than keep looking to save the extra $$ I just went ahead and bought it.
Now the real work begins..... <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />
