Mityvac Vacuum pump conversion

[countryhog]

Check out these parts diagrams to see what you would have to replace.
It's likely not cost effective.

I use a cheap bicycle pump to do positive crankcase pressure tests.

Mine does both but the guage only reads vac.
I add a T in the line and connect a vac/pressure gauge.
Use good hose and check for leaks at the T

You should have a hose to stick in your ear so you can listen for leaks too.
