Where do I get the plastic vacuum piping??

I have an 87 IROC 5.0. Some of the vacuum piping broke during a rebuild. This is the hard plastic type the connects up the EGR etc.. The dealer says the stuff is discontinued, so what do I do??

Just get some rubber vacuum hose and put it over the plastic hose. I may not look the best, but works just fine.

the 3/16 x 2" vaccume hose connector works great for putting those hard lines together
you can find them in the motormite section at pepboyz

I broke some of the same stuff on my fuel pres reg and went to parts america and there it was in rolls of like 10 feet.

I seriosly think you should be able to find this stuff at a parts store and if you are lucky they will have the elbows too.
