Vacuum line replacement
Since I can't search, do any of you know if there is a flexible vacuum line out on the market that I can replace all of my old brittle and cracked line with and if so, where can it be purchased ? Is it also color coded like the original or what ? How hard and what all is involved in doing this ?
Sorry for so many questions but I do appreciate you answers since I MAY attempt some of it this weekend.
Thanks all and Happy Holidays ! :-X12

Vacuum line replacement
I just replaced 5 (yes, five) vacume lines that had all burnt apart. They were the ones that run behund the manifold (351w). I just went to Auto Zone and brought in a sample to get the right size, and they brought me some rubber hose looking stuff that was supposedly vacume line hose. Well, it works and it was semi-flexible so why not. I had some good line left on the origional fittings so all I had to do was slide the new lines over the old. Now my EGR works (that's not a good thing for performance I found out) but I passed smog. Good luck with yours. Just remember to take some pictures or make a drawing of what lines go where.
