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.

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.

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?

(01-20-2013, 11:01 AM)Druk If the vac pump is deleted completely and a blanking plate put in it's place what works the brake servo?
Electric vac pump (if it fails, you don't get random parts in your engine)
or
Install bigger master cylinder and have manual brakes
or
Install hydraulic booster from a truck
I plan on going the bigger master cylinder route

that's how I ran it in my car. It still needs a vacuum source to run.
You can also run a line into the cabin and pull on it with a syringe to shut it down.
