Your post is almost impossible to read.



I'll give you the benefit of the doubt ONCE though, this being your first post.

Vacuum line, including the thin plastic kind and the rubber ends for it, are available at ANY parts store, even AZ and Advance and the like. Not much of a challenge if the car needs them.

LOL! i love it haha ^.

Here is my two cents, test everything, and if it needs replaceing replace, if not use those cents on something else that does need replacement. get it in top shape with good plugs and wires so that it starts and the pitch of the crank.
