so ive decided this is how im going to do my new shutoff arrangement. Its brutally simple and elegant.
Watch how the owner shuts down his nissan-

all hes done is run a direct line from the vacuum pump to the shutoff valve, T-ed into it, and run a vacuum line to the dash which he glued into place. When he holds his finger over the hole, he closes the vacuum circuit, and the engine shuts off.
Its spectacularly simple and effective.
My question, what if any problems could present themselves from having an open line like this in the vacuum system?
Ive already driven around a bunch before with one of the nipples on the check valve open, and it does nothing to brake performance, but is the mechanical pump working any harder, or is it impossible to tell?
