Im looking for a set of vacuum lines for a tuned port 350.. Its an 86 Trans Am and the old lines are pretty brittle and could use a replacement... Any info would be appreciated..

You should be able to just remove one vacuum line at a time, note the inside diameter (ID) & the length, then (after you've gotten the total length for each ID size you'll need) go to your local Autozone or Lowe's home-improvement store & buy replacement vacuum lines. AFAIK, there's not a "kit" to replace them all, but it should still be pretty inexpensive.

Hope this helps!

If you're talking about the hard plastic formed lines, dealer is probably your only bet. I got away with using regular hose in some spots, but others you would probably need the proper formed line. Unless they are cracked or something though, the hard formed lines should be ok to reuse.

Your other option is to purchase a length or roll of the hard nylon tubing (available at many parts stores) and heat/form it to the shapes you need. A heat gun is ideal, but I suppose a hair dryer would even work.

not a bad idea there.. I might actually go with that and just adapt each of the connecting ends to the new lines.. Thanks Vader.
