Default Golden Vacuum Manifold Install Lines Help????

I have the idea that you are supposed to "T" off the booster line after the check valve..... But the line after the check valve running to the Intake Manifold is the size the 11/32 ID. The hose size GE wants you to use is 1/2 ID which is way to big for the connector they supplied are you guys cutting in the middle of 11/32 ID hose and using a 3/8 ID hose over to the vacuum manifold? Also are you using spring clamps or screw/worm clamps?

It fits, you just have to use lots of lube and push it in

I am using a McMaster fluid distribution manifold, and am just using a 3/8" ID hose, it works fine [if it was the diameter of the hose you were worried about].

Hey Wes. I used 3/8" but use whatever size doesnt slip off. And dont use worm clamps. They tend to cut into the rubber hose. I like to reuse the oem clamps or zip ties alternatively.
