    Vacuum lines ?

    I just picked up a vacuum block with some fittings already installed. I believe it to be a FWD item (that's what I was told) It was never installed on a car. All the fittings have the same barb size - the vacuum ports are different sizes.

    I plan on installing it on my stock T1 GLH Omni.

    My question is: Does it matter what size the vacuum lines are? Is there a standard size depending on where it is routed?

    Finally, I want this installed so it looks good (not just flopping around). Is there anyone out there that can show me a pic or two of how they installed theirs? Are there mounting brackets available ?

    I dont think there is a generic size for all, but when you remove the old lines bring a couple with you to the shop and try to match them up to the same that was originally on there.

    When i redid my vacuum set up I replaced the pipe coming out the intake manifold and mounted my vac block right on top. then used the block to run to run elsewhere. I cant find any pictures of it or i would post it. But if you take the time to retap and use the proper fittings you can make a pretty slick looking vac setup.
