can this be used for automotive industry, checking crakcase vacuum?

I would suggest more research on your part. Depending on the amount of vacuum expected it may or may not work. Too much vacuum and you will suck the fluid out of the device.

It should work. No vacuum holding, just heavy. Works great on my smooth dashboard.

When it was working it pulled a 30 inch vacuum according to my gauges. Unfortunately the wires inside were damaged when they came in contact with the centrifugal switch causing the start capacitor to fail.

As far as I know, it is more for automotive type applications. You have to have an air compressor to run it.

If your engine will make vacuum it should work. Read instructions and run at several k rpm to make stable reading

The pressure tester can be used on your car if it fits a regular opening. Check with a stant source. First get the tester and see. Then if you need an adaptor, check with someone. The tester is very useful. The longer you leave it pressurized, it shows up smaller leaks. Larger leaks take less time. Check with the book to make sure about the right cap and system pressure. If the system is say 16 lb., pump it at first to 13 pounds and check for leaks. Don't exceed the system pressure or head gasket damage can occur. It is really very useful!

Yes. MSD #8428. I would use a ported vacuum source, and play with the mechanical advance to get optimum timing curve for your power needs.

I don't see why not. It's made to suck fluid through a tube. It doesn't create a real powerful vacuum, so it might take some time. Something to consider is that when bleeding brakes, you're usually working with gravity. With diesel fuel lines, you're likely working against.

I'm sure it will, if you have the connection. I use it on automotive a/c units. it does a real nice job pulling vacuum.

Not trying to be glib, but actually both of the previous answers are correct. The really short answer is no, it won't, but that's really a qualified no. If you went to the trouble of acquiring, or more likely making, the appropriate probes for what you wanted to measure, then sure, this will display a waveform, but then you have to know how to interpret the waveforms, to know if what you measured is behaving correctly. In other words, you can probably make this work as an automotive scope, but by the time you're done, you'll have something cobbled together that ended up costing more and not working as well as just going out and buying an automotive scope. A purpose-built tool is ALWAYS better than a generic tool, easier to use for that purpose, and many times actually cheaper than cobbling something together.

I will acknowledge that I'm not an chemist or engineer, but if the company indicates it shouldn't be used in a garage, I would certainly agree. This device helps sniff out dangerous fumes and vapors, and typically, garages contain both. If the area is like any other room in the house, and doesn't contain any vehicles, dangerous chemicals, or any other type of combustion processes, I would consider it for myself. However, for anyone else, I would take the advice of the company and write them with a detailed description of the room contents and use and ask their professional opinion.

I would think so. Just test a small area first. My cleaning service actually uses it as a dusting agent throughout my home.

I don't see why not. It fits between hoses, whether the vacuuming is manual or automatic makes no difference. To increase efficiency you can line the navigator with a nylon, which will collect even smaller particles. Hope this is helpful.

Don't have it in front of me, but that is either the distributor vacuum advance or a small auxiliary vacuum port. (I believe it can be used for vacuum powered headlight doors). Will have to check for sure.

No, absolutely not. This is a stand alone tool for electrical circuit testing on all vehicles. It checks circuits for power, for grounds, for opens, and shorts. You can also power up a circuit with the Power Probe, and then check for continuity. -- An essential tool for automotive electrical troubleshooting.

Yes ! I am a mechanic and have used it on your type of car many times, great tool for the money does most actions scan tools costing thousands do.

I would think so. My brother used ours to pull a wide dent out of his Saturn. They're mostly plastic.
