i got it from advance auto parts, but i'm sure it's at any auto parts store, refer to reply #17 for the exact size, it's a 'soft vacuum connector'

yeah, so you have to buy the smallest vacuum hose you can find, vacuum hose = 3.00, then you have to buy a t with one small nipple (to connect to the small vacuum hose0 and two regular size (to t in to your regular vacuum line) because the vacuum hose that was small enough to stick the clear vacuum line in is too small to fit on a nipple on you i.m. = 2.00 for a total of 3.00 dollars more and more mess than a one piece simple solution. trust me, i stood in the 'vacuum hose/fittings' section for a while trying to figure out every possible way to do this, and this is the cheapest, easiest, solution, IMO anyways

went to napa with the nylon wire and they made it so that hte nylon went inside of the hose and then sold the hose by the foot.. its easy to find.

I never ever use the nylon bullshit that autometer supplies. That ---- sucks. One crimp and it's fucked. I always just buy vacumm hose and do it with that. They do make different T's too. I got one from autozone that had to bigger ends (for your stock line) and one small one off the side. (for the gauge). I like the way it finally came out, but I still hate that nylon ----. I wish they would just stop putting it in with thier gauges. :P
