Electric Vacuum pumps

When I was looking into the hydro boost for my car I was advised that the freshly rebuilt Federal pump I have wouldn’t work. Has to be the Saginaw type. I haven’t gotten any further. I’m most likely going to figure out how to make hydro boost work. A vacuum pump seems like a step backwards.
Do you have a thread on this? If not, it seems like it would be helpful for a lot of us.
