Vacuum line replacement

The vacuum lines on my 93 7.5L are so brittle that they break with the slightest pressure. I'm putting these on my list to replace. Has anyone found a reasonable replacement?

I just used 5/32" vacuum hose and a couple of tees. It took maybe a half hour, the original tubing was pretty brittle.

Here's a link I followed for guidelines, but just replace one line at a time and follow the vacuum line diagram on the underside of the hood.

I used 25-ft of hose, but that was a 1993 302. Not sure about the 460, would guess that it's similar.

Hope this helps.

Auto parts stores have vacuum line in bulk in different sizes.

I've read several here used washer fluid rubber tubing with great success.

As f100today mentioned, vacuum line is available by the foot at auto parts stores. Take a piece of original along with you to confirm the inner diameter.

I used split loom to replace the existing...
