Hey all

I drove home from work last week, I drove on something that usually (should) on the road. The car leaks oil and glycol. It has melted vacuum lines see picture. Where can you find these thin vacuum lines (which are connected to egr and higher intake) and how to fix (question marks do not work on the PC )

The car is in the workshop but it feels like it will be time so I want to buy vacum lines. Im thinking of bring to home and fix myself by your support guys

Dorman does make that line but the part number is escaping me. I’ll have to search

As these cars get age and the lines get brittle, I wish they were available in the right colors. I have a line or two spliced with regular vac hose glued on top.

I typed 'colored plastic vacuum line' and got several pages on Amazon alone.

You should be able to find a donor car or truck at the wrecking yard that has all the plastic vacuum lines you will ever need
When I go looking I look for a early 80's ford that has tab and tad solenoids (they have yuge vacuum harnesses)
Ford has used the same color codes for years now
Green for EGR red for manifold etc.
