All my engine compartment HVAC vacuum lines are a mess of splices. I took a piece to O'Reilly's and they couldn't match it up to anything. I'd buy a roll of the stuff online if I knew what to get. Anyone have a source?

I have used air shock tubing and the plastic tubing that comes with an oil pressure gauge to replace old dried out hard plastic tubing and the local NAPA should be able to supply a roll of vacuum hose from Goodyear that fits that tubing. I think it is 3/32 inside diameter, not quite a quarter inch on the outside.

Are you talking about the rubber or the plastic lines. If it is the plastic then try McMaster Carr. They have all kinds and sizes, some available in colors. If you replace the colored tube with a mono color do yourself a favor and label the lines with their original colors.
