mityvac mv8500 or other?

[Chev727]

Been looking at pressure/vac testers and I like the mv8500 kit but was wondering what other kits everyone used and what's the best for the money

Thanks for the reply wolf, that's what I was thinking too, I know baileys sells the rubber flap for the exhaust port but where do I get something for the intake boot?

Well what saw?

Well what saw?

Trying to find something universal, but any place I can find something for any model I come across, I'd like to be able to test any saw I get without having to buy dozens of pieces, if possible, seen people use AV mounts with zip ties but that doesn't seem to reliable to me

I make all mine.

How do you go about making them? My thought was buying a bike tire tube and cutting the shape of the carb out and just putting it between the carb and boot but I worry about it leaking

Flat metal plate on the exhaust with rubber from tube as a gasket and I use an extra boot sealed with silicone on the intake.

Nice tip, l just yesterday recieved a Mityvac in the mail. lt seems to be a well made tool for the $$. l can see myself using mine for many years, for many applications. Do you do the spark plug mod where you drill it put a thingie fitting and some epoxy/resien ending up with an airtight spark plug hole adapter?? Or is it easier/best to buy one online ect?
