8500 will do everything you could imagine and some things you couldn't

Souds good thanks.

If you have a compound guage, a remote purge primer pump will work, as long as it's working correctly.
The longer leg produces pressure, and the short leg is vaccum.
It's good "thumb war" exercise.

One note about that 8500 kit with storage box. It something I ran into when first got the pump and adapters. Due the way adapters were moulded; they leaked. After I took a backbone razor to them trimming them smooth they sealed fine.

Also the 8500 is mostly metal and not all plastic.

I ordered the mightyvac 8500 kit.i have a spark plug with the ceramic removed. Getting it tig welded at work. to a fitting that will be removeable for different size hose barbs.

Don't forget to get a 10mm plug done too if your going to be working on many 2 cycles; unless, use the compression gauges set that the removable hose via M style plugs and the various size adapters. With this setup you just need to make up one M style coupler to fit the MityVac use whichever test hose you need.
