Miracle noise fix from Boston...testemonial

[Gfbourcier@aol.com]

Listers,
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to get rid of a nasty noise from my 
engine compartment with a great idea from Brendan Barry.  His web site 
describes removal of the metal actuating rod from the aux vac pump mounted to 
the left side of the block, sitting in the car.  The only drawback clearly 
expressed by Brendan is that the fix, in theory, robs additional vac boost 
when accelerating the engine above 3k RPM and dropping the anchor 
simultaneously.  I could see this being a problem on the track, however after 
400 miles this week of Washington, DC beltway traffic and some spirited back 
road escapes, this lack of brake pressure never occurred in my car.  All of 
the noise that I thought was the lifters is gone!  Thanks to Brendan for a 
good idea and having no fear of removing internal parts of the car.  This 
really works!
