Since this piece of machinery is basically useless, especially since my hoses rotted away, I'm wondering if there might be some way to rig up another hose to run to the air filter box.
Since the pump is pulley oriented, and the vent itself, I'm assuming, acts as a blow-off valve, wouldn't it be possible to have it work the same way?
The faster the pulleys spin the more air is pushed through the vent and into the air cleaner box. Sort of acting like forced induction, on a small scale of course.
Anyone happen to know how much pressure the pump puts out?

 

Im not sure how much it pushes out. But that is an good Idea to try. I would say take off the outlet hose and feel how much it pushes, and rev it up. Also put your hand to the engine intake tube. Rev it up. Then you can see how strong the engine pulls in air. It is perry strong you will be suprised. Then you can see if the Pump can put out as much as the eninge breaths in.

 

Seems like I might have to borrow/buy a vacuum gauge and test the pressure on that thing...Dodge might've done a good thing with including the A.I.R. pump/ghetto "turbo"!
Wouldn't happen to know the stock flow rate of the Holley TB would you?
Oh, and first thing's first; got to get a good A.I.R. pump. Stupid bearing/shaft on the inside got crushed/seized years and years ago.
