I have been looking through the forums and catalogs and I cannot seem to find new vacuum lines for '87 R10. If LMC has them in their catalog I cannot find it. I am looking for the lines coming off the selector valve and going to the individual vacuum cylinders for heat and AC distribution. Thanks

Buy it by the foot at Autozone or O' Reilly, Pep Boys, Napa. If no luck there try Brothers, Classic Industries.

If you're gonna replace all the hose, just buy a spool of it, lot cheaper that way..

So the vacuum line harness with the plug behind the selector switch is not being reproduced?

I've never seen a catalog with the full set of replacement vacuum tubing. Its fairly easy to buy the bulk hard tubing and just replace the lines one at a time. Just pull the rubber ends (where it connects to the vacuum motors) off the old tubing, or use a short section of rubber hose to splice in the new tubing. You could even use rubber tubing for most of the replacement, but its much larger diameter and hard to thread through the confined space under the dash.

Thanks, for some reason I thought I saw the vacuum line harness in a catalog, I guess not. I will have another look at it and see what I need to replace.

I understand where you're coming from, though. I'd want the color coded stuff and not just black. The colors tell you where they go, which standard vacuum tubing won't do.

Use replacement tubing and wrap labels on each hose to identify...easy
