Replacement vacuum hoses

trey333 · 07-01-2009, 09:03 PM

I have a 91 rcsb, 5.7. I want to replace the vacuum hoses. Does anyone sell a replacement kit with the hoses? I called the dealer and as told they have discontinued. Will I need to fabricate my own? I know some part stores have the tubing and elbow fittings etc. As always thanx

Use rubber vacuum hoses with tee's where needed.

fabricate your own, if thats what you choose to call it. i would go buy a long length of rubber hose and cut each piece out until i finished with all. i wouldnt have imagined that they sold precut to fit vacuum lines for anything. seems like the extra costs incurred would be rediculous.

When I broke one of those hard plastic molded vacuum lines on my '91 I first tried just rubber vacuum line. But I didn't like the look. So I got some hard line, carefully bent it to match the original routing, polished it, and attached it with 2 short pieces of rubber line. Works for me.
