you can get the plastic line at napa or autozone.

you also can get a kit from mustangs unlimited... different colors too.. for about 30 bucks.... but it comes with a bunch of different sizes!!! The way to go in my opinion.... looks good too!!That's what I did...

I am not going to say it is better, because I really don't know, but I replaced some of mine with rubber vacuum hose instead of the plastic hoses. My friend/mechanic suggested it and the are working out just fine.

It doesnt look like it comes with (Or does it????) the Few that come off of the thing that the EGR Valve vacuum line comes off of. The vacuum tree type thing that has the 4 plastics ones on it on the passenger side of the engine bay near the firewall. What size are these, and how can i replace them?

What you guys think of that kit in my last post on ebay?

I have been watching that auction come and go but was waiting for a guinea pig to post their experience first. Silicone is good stuff as long as it is stiff enough and these look think walled enough to support decent vacuum.

I'll let you know. I'm buying it in the next few days.

thats the kit i have. heres a pic, but i haven't installed all of the lines yet. high quality, thick walls. i like it. you also get like 8 feet of extra small tubing too that you can cut for whatever u want.

Looks great man. why is your oil filler in a different place?

 

[bloopbloob]

umm... as far as i know, its not????? whats wrong with my filler? where should it be? those are old pics too, looks better now. cleaned it up a bit since the pics, and added some more vac lines, but still not all that the kit provides. need to pull the inner fenderwell linings and stuff... just been workin too much lately to finish it.

i'm waiting for savegoodautonfg to say ..........oh that isn't what i meant, i meant...

 

[savegoodautonfg]

Just got the kit in the mail, installing it today.. ill let all know how it is.

 

[AnthonyR23]

That's not your oil filler ... it's your power steering filler .....

Do you have a vacuum gauge... the one thing I wish I did before replacing all my vacuum lines was take a reading before and after to see if the vacuum improves... I'm sure it helped me... not surging as bad... idles nice

 

[AnthonyR23]

bloopbloom would you recommend the open style oil cap?? On my oil temp gauge ... reading is about 3/4 of the way up sometimes.. what reading do you guys get??
