If you mean those hard plastic type vacuum lines, NAPA sells them in 3
foot
sections
with a variety of connectors. I had to replaced most of the vacuum lines
on
my son's
86 and used rubber lines were I could but had to use these near heat
sources. One of
the problems I had was that many of the original vacuum lines runs were
inside of
wiring looms and you couldn't see the break.
