Two methods of attaining inexpensive vacuum. You can use the vacuum line
on your carb safely if you run it into a vacuum
canister first. A Brake booster can be purchased inexpensively ($10 -
$20) that has a one way vacuum valve. Another method
of attaining inexpensive vacuum is to purchase a vacuum venturi which
runs off of compressed air (about $3 at auto places and
marine places which sell vacuum bagging accessories). Combine these two
and you have a vacuum reserve can that runs of
compressed air (120 p.s.i.) that will create in excess of 30 p.s.i. of
vacuum.

I wouldn't suggest the vacuum line from the carb trick. O-rings in
vehicles are made of materials that are not always compatable with
certain fluids. Brake fluid in your power steering system will cause it
to fail, and the reverse is also true. By the way, some power steering
fluid is mineral oil based. If you get some mineral oil on injector
o-rings, they could fail.
Remember an o-ring on a shuttle flight......
