3800 vacuum line for boost gauge???

[zeez gtp]

Ok, today I went out looking for some extra vacuum line for my boost gauge. I found a write up on installing the gauge and it said 1/8th inner diameter lines. I checked sears, auto zone, menards, and home depot. auto zone had the smallest size, a 7/64. I am just wondering where I can get 1/8th at? I am gonna call pep boys in a couple of minutes. Thanks

i got a rubber 1/8 one from pepboys in orland park on 159 and lagrange.....i think it was like 1.50-2.00 or something.

I think I'm just gonna use the 7/64 if i need some. I doubt a 1/64th difference will cause a problem. Thanks

Pep boys should carry the hard plastic line. They carry the rubber t fittings, you should replace those for sure. The boost line connects to the FPR, and it gets loose fitting after a while.

I noticed the somewhat loose T-fitting when I cleaned my injectors last week. To the best of my knowledge that was the first time the T-fitting had been pulled from the FPR. Any idea if I would need to replace it? It's certainly not falling off but it's not what I'd call snug either.
