Title: Shaker vacuum line
Post by: grabberblue on May 28, 2024, 11:53:22 PM
Might anyone know where to acquire the blue stripped vacuum line that runs from the tee to the vacuum canister on the back of the mid-plate? What's generally available is for the flat hood air cleaner and that line is 22". It's definitely to short, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Dan

Usually in the vacuum line kit available from parts companies such as NPD.

Dan, I found the kits to be random - one had the line too short and the other just right and there was nothing on the packaging to tell the difference.

This kit is labeled "Distributor vacuum lines" but it includes all the vacuum hoses. [size=78%]https://www.martiauto.com/itemselection.cfm?item=DVK-1&selecteditem=yes (https://www.martiauto.com/itemselection.cfm?item=DVK-1&selecteditem=yes)[/size]

Thank you for the replies. I contacted Jack Brooks at Dead Nuts On and the kit he sells the blue strip hose is 31" long. More than enough for a shaker air cleaner. I purchased the kit and I'll post the fitment results as soon as I get it.

The kit that Jack sells (DNO), the blue striped vacuum hose has more than enough for a shaker hood. I installed it and there was left over that I had to cut. Just wanted to bring closure to my post.
