I just bought the different sizes in prepackaged three foot lengths (1/4,5/32, & 3/8 I think) and just cut them to length using a hose cutter. just measure the old ones and cut up the new ones to the proper length.

What he said. Vaccum line is availible at any parts store.

While you're there at the parts store......

....get some small black nylon ties too, and secure each vacuum connection with them. That's one way of avoiding a frustrating situation later on, like having a vac. hose blow off at the track or something.

I had a semi-difficult time finding suffciently thin walled tubing. A lot of the "std" tubing won't easily fit onto the vacuum block because the hose barbs are too close together.

I found some vacuum line at ACE hardware that had a thinner wall and fit perfectly...

I believe the factory sizes are 5/32,7/32 and 11/32 correct me if I'm wrong?

Is that ID or OD??

I bought mine from Kirban or Hwy Stars. Can't remember which one. Maybe they both carry them.

Every time I go to a hardware store or parts store I aggravate the hell out of myself. what year, what engine crap. Do yourself a favour and phone our friends at Kirbans and just get this kit. Proper lengths also.
