ok in my troubleshooting misadventures I busted my vac gauge line right near the intake or whichever tube it's connected to under the hood. Does this line have any input as to how the car runs? Do I have to go to ford or can I get an aftermarket line? Thanks. Jay
 
you'll have a vacuum leak and everything that comes with it. :eek: lol. as far as a replacement line, i have no idea.. sorry.. i'll look around too..

I had the same problem a week or two ago. the plastic tube for the boost gauge got brittle from engine heat and broke off. I did not want to run a new line so i cut off the rest that was brittle. got some rubber vac hose from the auto store and made a patch.
 
I've also had to remove a section of hose line that had broken off in the intake fitting, I used a nail to remove it. Like vivisex666 said, the heat makes the line brittle. I clipped off the brittle section and stuck it back in the fitting. Good as new, well almost.
