Karl (KED85) had posted pics of my 85 diagram, pretty sure your 87 IS different.
AZ/Advance Auto has the lines (skinny ones) in a semi-bulk pack, in the HELP section iirc.

Re: Hard Vacuum Lines
The vacume signal harness for the 2.8 third gen F-car is no longer available from the GM dealer. Go to the HELP section at advance auto buy the bulk lines and fabricate your own.

Re: Hard Vacuum Lines
Any of the parts stores will have everything that you will need to make a new vaccum system.

Re: Hard Vacuum Lines
here you go this is for 86-89
http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us...rInfoPages.htm This is the page that has all the years. I hope this helps.
----------
I went to a salvage yard and found the lines off of a 3.1 and they worked. I had to make a few changes but over all they are fine. When I had to make a bend I used a lighter to heat the tube up and then cooled it off with cold water to harden it up fast. I even had to cut the hard lines and then I spliced them back with tubing and it works fine, no leaks.

Re: Hard Vacuum Lines
On the topic of hard vaccum lines: what's the point? Why not have all rubber and save yourself from the possibility of snapping them?

Re: Hard Vacuum Lines
I think that the hard lines are a larger inner diameter. For a flexable one to be that but of diameter the rubber would be thicker so it doesn't buckle. Thats what I would think.
