Find replacement hoses in local parts store and replace all hoses, IMO.

I'm having similar issues with my '88; most hoses are having split ends and need to be replaced.

I will keep my answer simple. If hose is damaged replace it, move on to next hose, if damaged replace, move on to next and so on and so on .................

5/32 rubber vac hose will splice over the hard line and join them together.

Buy Bucatini from your local grocery store,

Mail it to GM at the address below:
General Motors Company
P.O. Box 33170
Detroit, MI 48232-5170

Include a note saying "thanks for installing Bucatini vacuum lines in my 85 vette".
