stripping down OM617?
im putting the '80 OM617 i just picked up in my jeep. I want to strip off as much extra stuff as possible, specifically vacuum lines. I dont know much about the vac system on this car, but diesels dont usually need this many vac lines. my 81 peugeot 505 diesel doesnt use any.
Then it sounds like you don't need any of it at all. I thought some people here were trying to delete the vac pump all together and put a block off plate in its place.
I cannot find the thread(s)
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Check my build threads for a vac blockoff. If your vac pump works, you want to sell it and buy materials for a blockoff-vac pumps can go for like $6,000,000
You can use a choke cable to pull the linkage into the stop position, and block off the vacuum shutoff hole in the IP.
The EGR system isn't required for driving. With a boost/ egt gauge you can pull the ALDA from the top of the pump.
While you have the engine out install a bock heater, just be sure to heat the plug in the block-it can crack the block if it's dead cold.

Keep the engine driven vacuum pump for the power brakes! Its simple and works great vacuum line from the pump to your brake booster one check valve. that's it
KISS= keep it simple stupid
