Vacuum line question
Going to redo all my vacuum lines sometime this weekend or next week. I bought a 50 foot roll of Gates line so I could also redo my Bronco that is my project. Are all the vacuum lines the same lengthy and routing setup? Both are 351 E4OD 4x4 but the Bronco is a 90 and the f150 is a 95. I would think they would be the same but I know there are a get nit picky differences between a 8th gen and 9th gen truck. My thought was to cut 2 of everything and more or less make myself a kit while I was doing my truck

I would measure one as I took it off, and then cut. I see your reasoning, but also, want to get it right once, even if you do have lots extra. There are also different size vacuum nipples as well. Want to keep it clean and tidy.

No from what I have read the line diameter is the same for everything on the plastic lines which is all that I need to replace. I just was trying to figure out if everything for the vacuum system is in the same place. I know there are a few differences in the wiring and placement of parts on the wiring harness between the two just wasn't sure if the same was true for the vacuum lines

My plan was to do them one at a time and color code them with electrical tape the same color as the plastic lines. My thought was if they were all the same I would go ahead and cut the ones for the Bronco and color code them while I was doing my F150. I have a friend that needs a few feet for his VW so I was gonna give him my left over tubing but I don't know when I was going to get to doing the Bronco done as it is a long term project right now

I know 50 ft was a ton but it was cheaper to order the roll of 50 off Amazon and get it shipped than to buy 20 at any parts store. And most of them had to get it from the warehouse. I wasn't sure how much I needed I was guessing high at 15-20 per truck for all plastic lines
