In the photo, it's the short line running vertical connected to the brass T fitting.

I'd also need two new clamps.

Thanks in advance.

Is that how you have your boost gauge spliced? Take a piece to an auto patrs store to be sure.

Default That photo isn't from my car. The vacuum line is OEM. (more)

I'm trying to avoid removing the line. It's torn/cracked, but I taped it and it seems to be holding up. I'm concerned about the car not running if I remove it, and then I won't be able to get to the auto parts store.

Sears has it listed as "fuel line"? Do you know the ID or OD?

That's what the receipt said. Can't remember the specifics.

Default Kragen also has that fuel line. That's what I run when using MBC to/from N75...

also good as replacement for other shoddy OEM lines.

You don't happen to know the part number or Diameter of the line?

Default Let me look when I get home...also try STFA....it was mentioned before...

I do know that the overall (outside) diameter of this fuel line is larger than the stock lines. It's just that it's thicker (more material) and so the internal diameter is the same (or even slightly smaller). Have to check. It's really cheap though.

anywhere like autozone etc. ask for a fuel pressure hose. I want to say 8/32, but I'm not 100%...
