tpi newbie doing intake gaskets

having a few problems.

car 89 gta 5.7/700r4

-the pcv hose is cracked/brittle, is there anything i can do for a new one, or just use rubber hose?

-tv cable broke, anyone know were to get a replacement(perferably a local store, i don't want to wait for shipping), i looked online at advance and autozone and they only have is the shifter selector cable.

-i bought the car it had larger injectors installed and an adjustable FPR, and was running wery rich. i am swapping the 22lb bosch 3, i was just wondering how exactly you tune the fuel pressure regulator? i did a serch and could find anything about the process of doing. i would like to just get a stock regulator but all i can find is a diaphragm kit and i think you need the part from the original FPR which i don't have.

-anyone have a nice vacuum diagram, my lines are all kinds of sliced, hacked, cracked, broke, missing.....

Re: tpi newbie doing intake gaskets

You can use regular rubber hose for the pcv.

The TV cable you will likely have to order from someone, even the place I worked we did not stock those. Best bet would be a transmission rebuilder.

The adjustment for the FPR you need a fuel pressure gauge. Hook that up to the port that is right by the FPR on the passenger side fuel rail, disconnect the vacuum line and set it to around 44psi with the engine running. That will be a good starting point to get it running like it should.
