This is a vacum line right? Does this line go to the brake booster?
Is it a Dealer only part?
The big line in the middle of the picture.

Mine rotted and broke off. Trying to get my ducks in line?

The big one up top of the upper intake is the PCV line, very common line to fail over time , it's a dealer item.

The FLM dealership only carries this hose as part of an assembly, consisting of the adapter hose (part I need) the long hose that wraps around the back of the intake manifold, an elbow and the PVC valve. Cost, an arm and a leg.

Or..... you can go to your local FLAPS and prevail on them to give you a 4" long X 3/4" ID heater hose which fits perfectly. Cost.... free.

Car fixed.

Happy camper,

And that's how it's done! Sounds like a winner to me!

The only problem you might encounter is the heater hose is not rated for exposure to fuel / oil. You'll have to keep and eye on it.
