    replacing vacuum lines

    So I just picked up a stone stock all original T1 laser. I started by replace all cracked rubber fuel lines. I'm now wanting to do the rubber vacuum lines. My question is, what is this piece in the picture, and should these 2 ports be capped or open? The car does have a high idle (about 1250 RPM when warmed up and goes to about 2k when i turn on the A/C.) Possible vacuum leak? Car throws no codes.

    Yes does sound like leak, the older AIS on log T1 are also known to need a regular cleaning as it will act like a vacuum leak, I need to clean mine every 6 months as my is a DD.
    I have posted a procedure on this forum, let me know if you need a link

    LOL, yes I do not see your picture except in your other post. We have found that using the advanced function is much more reliable

    Re: replacing vacuum lines

    I can't see the pic.

    The lines on these cars are nylon. You can get 100ft 5/32 and 1/4" rolls here for cheap: that'll last you forever in replacement amounts.

    https://www.automationdirect.com/adc...bing_-a-_hoses


    It's the "straight nylon tubing" Now the polyurethane bends slightly better, flows just a hair more and will last forever without replacement but you have to be careful with it's routing. It has a lower melting point by 20 degrees. So if it touches the 180 degree+ cylinder head it'll suck shut. But if you're careful with the routing it's great stuff as it doesn't get hard and brittle. You just can't be a lazy idiot when installing it I run it on all my stuff.

    Friend brought me this:



    I turned it into this:



    Fully functioning/legal 88 vac harness.




    And heavily modified but still passes the sniff test:

    Yup, happened to us all!
    On the vacuum lines, I use teflon with Pieco fittings as it was in the dumpster at work. I hate when that happens!

    1. The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:
