Vacuum hose kits

Hi,

I need to get an entire set of vacuum hoses for my engine, but I can't seem to find one that's for a '72 delta 88 royale. Would one like this work? http://www.opgi.com/cutlass/1972/eng...-kits/C241371/

My car is auto with A/C. Or if you guys have some other source for a vacuum hose kit, that'd be helpful too.

Thanks,

Dante

You can't just go down to the auto parts store and buy some vacuum line?

Any generic vacuum line of the right diameter can be purchased at your local parts store by the foot. However if you are looking for the correct GM hoses with the correct colours you will most likely not find it by the foot nor a kit for an Delta 88. Inline tubes sell kits for Oldsmobiles. Basically the same as above.

Certain colored repro GM striped vac hose could be had by the foot at some camaro parts houses. I remember seeing it somewhere...

Just looked at your profile pics.

There is NO reason why you should need fancy color-coded original-type vacuum hoses for that car.

Just go to the auto parts store.

Don't waste you money on hoses rated as fuel line hoses for fuel injection, either.

Oh I had no idea I could get these by the foot at OtterZone and similars... I have zero interest in color coded stuff, I just want my engine to run. Well, looks like I'll be back there tomorrow then.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!
