Help with vacuum hose sizes
Hey guys im going to replace most of my old dried out vacuum hoses and im wondering if any of you guys know what sizes of vacuum hose I will need. I'm wanting to order from Amazon but I'm not around my truck right now to measure. My truck is a 1992 f250 with the 460. Thank you guys.

When I replaced the vac hoses on my 1991 5.8 I was able to do all of them with 20 feet of 5/32” from the local O’Reilly and an assortment kit of connectors off the shelf.
Just a word of advice - if you feel compelled to remove or relocate junctions, just do it as long as they maintain their functions. My truck had a rubber 6 or 7 way “plug” at the back by the firewall that joined the vac lines from each side of the engine together. I left it there and used connectors on each side of it, only to realize later it was just something the factory did to make production easier - I could’ve eliminated it without any problems at all.
