Replacing Plastic Vacuum Lines
That plastic spaghetti line is quite brittle and the line going to the diverter valve broke. I have been searching for replacement line, but it is hard to find. Can I just use rubber vacuum line with a small diameter? Or will it collapse on vacuum? Need some suggestions. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Thanks for your replies! I am probably going to go with the rubber vacuum lines. I am installing a new Ported Vacuum Switch for an '83 truck, replacing the electronic one that my '85 came stock with. The PVS from the '83, which is a friend's friend's truck, I noticed that for the plastic lines to work, I need an adapter. Don't want the hassle of finding an adapter, so I will just run the rubber hoses and use plastic tees as needed. We have the IM-240 smog tests out here in AZ, and I have to get that smog stuff working properly, since I did Duraspark II conversion, and the computer no longer works. Thanks again!
