62 Starfire Power Brake Boost

I noticed last night after turning off my car, that the hose between the check valve and the MC was collapsed. Like it had too much vacuum. Is that normal?

No it's not normal... it needs to be changed, it's probably just old and the material is breaking down....

The hose material is new, but I think it is just vacuum tubing. I guess I need to use fuel line or heater hose. Something with some cords in it that is more rigid.
Thanks for the reply.
