Default Vacuum hose

Looking for an alternative vacuum hose that runs from the intake to the fuel pressure regulator. It is a short plastic like line that runs right across the top of the intake. I would like to find something that can run all the way around the back of the intake so I can use my valve covers without having to cut holes though them for this one stupid little line.

Thanks!
Charles R

What year is the car? I assume LT1 from your description.

You can buy the plastic vacuum line in 3 foot lengths at any auto parts store...

I don't think the vacuum cares. I guess you could stick together some soda straws if you wanted to... ;-)

Some people just run rubber hose and leave out the plastic.

It's your car -- do whatever you like.
