...on a 235/261 engine.

I'm feel sure its a 3/16" line...however, I figured a 3/16" brake line would work just as well since mine is missing. The "fittings fit" but to me the brake line sure looks smaller than the original ones I've seen on engines.
Is the brake line I.D. smaller....if it is will it work. Just small trifling things but I want to know!

Thanks

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I used 3/16 brake line and if you get the brake line plier bending tool it comes out real nice. I used 7/32 to go over the 3/16 brake line. My application worked ok.

Thanks. Just wanted to confirm the small line would provide enough vacuum.
