Tin Indian Performance Crank Mandrel Drive Systems

Tin Indian Performance Crank Mandrel

Our Pontiac Crank mandrel drives are custom CNC machined out of 6061 aluminum.  The mandrel includes the following features: 

Mandrel bolts directly to harmonic balancer -  You use your stock crank bolt to bolt your harmonic balancer to your crank.  You no longer need to use mandrel systems that use 5 to 6 inch balancer bolts.  Your balancer is now reliably retained by a separate bolt!  Some harmonic balancer manufactures will not warrantee their balancers if you use such a crank mandrel system. 

Works with ALL Pontiac harmonic balancers with standard BBC or Pontiac 4 bolt patterns AND crank triggers!   We also offer another mandrel that has the standard Pontiac 4 bolt pattern and the Fluiddampr 4 bolt pattern.

Tin Indian Performance Moroso Vacuum Pump Bracket

Tin Indian Performance Moroso vacuum pump bracket 
TIP-003

$52.50

The bracket is made from 6061 aluminum and works with the Moroso 22641 pumps.   This bracket will bolt up to Pontiac heads with standard bolt hole locations (stock D port, Edelbrock Heads,  KRE D ports, and KRE High Port heads) with NO modifications like other brands. Bracket comes with the correct bolts to attach it to the pump as well.


Valve Cover Baffel

SVP-001
$37.95

Valve Cover Baffel

Engine Vacuum Baffle with -12 AN Fitting
The vacuum baffle is designed to reduce the amount of oil scavenged from the crankcase by the vacuum pump. The vacuum baffle is shielded on four sides and open on only one side. This Baffle is not a cure-all for engines that leak or have excessive blow-bye. Improper location of the pickup, poor oil drain back in heads, or an engine with excessive blow by or an engine that is not properly "sealed" can still pull excessive oil.   


Vacuum Pump Oil Seperator Tank

Vacuum Pump Intake / Exhaust Oil Separator Tank with -12AN Fittings

This tank is manufactured from 6061-T6/651 aluminum then color anodized throughout, combines an air/oil separator to reduce or eliminate engine oil scavenged into the vacuum pump AND an exhaust section to catch oil exhausted by the vacuum pump. In addition to separating the oil from the air drawn from the engine, the filter media within the tank will trap debris from worn or broken engine parts before it enters the vacuum pump. Drains are installed for the exhaust and the intake sides of the tank. (mass: 2.33lbs.)

SVP-002
$299.95


Moroso 22640 Vac Pump

Moroso 3 -Vane Vacuum Pump Aluminum, Black Anodized - pulley INCLUDED!

These vacuum pumps are manufactured from billet aluminum and feature a precision-machined shaft, rotor, and bearings that will withstand the rigors of racing. They work by producing high crankcase vacuum, which increases power by improving ring seal, preventing blow by, and detonation.  The pump also allows for the use of lower-tension piston rings for less friction. These positive pumps are much more consistent and effective than header-mounted evacuation systems.  This pump uses -12 AN fittings.  Pump mounting bracket is not included.  Use part # TIP-002.

$437.00


Moroso 22641 4 vane pump

Moroso 4 -Vane Vacuum Pump Aluminum, Black Anodized - pulley INCLUDED!

Pump mounting bracket is not included.  Use part # TIP-002.

$449.95


Moroso 22642 4 vane enhanced design pump

Moroso 4 -Vane Enhanced Design Vacuum Pump Aluminum, Black Anodized - pulley INCLUDED!

This pump comes with all of the hardware pictured above and allows for the most flexibility for adjustment when used with our Tin Indian Performance Crank Mandrel.  Adjustment swing for the belt tension is a bit small at 1.7 inches.  You just need to be fairly close with your initial belt length.

$625.00

Pontiac Alternator Relocation Kit

This kit was originally designed to work with our crank mandrel drive system.  The system is extremely versatile and flexible giving the installer many options during installation.   The alternator's drive pulley location can be adjusted simply by  trimming the spacers.   The bracket was designed to fit most Pontiac heads as well as most aftermarket heads (Kauffman D Port, Kauffman High Port, Edelbrock, etc.) The mounting bracket is made from stainless steel.  Bolts and washers are also stainless steel.

Frequently asked questions: 

Q:        Why don’t you guys sell a cheaper system with a Ford style smog pump?

A:         You get what you pay for!  The Ford style pumps don’t pull near the vacuum nor do they last as long as the Aeorspace or Moroso units.  

Q:        How fast should I spin the vacuum pump?

A:        Optimum speed is approximately 50% of the engine speed. (2 : 1 ratio).  For applications below 8,000 RPM we recommend running the pump at 66 % ( 1.6 : 1 ratio).  Using the 3 inch pulley provided with the standard Tin Indian Performance Crank Mandrel System will drive a vacuum pump with a 5 inch pulley at 60%.  The 4 inch mandrel pulley would drive the pump at 80%.

Q:        Where should I plum the vacuum pump?

A:         We recommend attaching the pump to the front of the valve cover via a threaded bung.  Our bung baffel helps with pulling excessive oil out as well.  This should provide you with the best vacuum and best lubrication of your pump.  The outlet of the pump should be attached to a catch can that can be periodically drained.  Never attach you vacuum pump outlet to your dry sump tank or to an exhaust collector. 

Q:        How much vacuum do I need?

A:        Most engine builders concur that maximum power gains are noticed in the 13” to 16” on a wet sump application.  Street applications should be less and we normally recommend that you drive the pump a bit slower.
