If you mean the metal tubing, I think the od was about 1/8". It depends on the fittings on yours, also. Some were flared and some used the crimp ferrule thing. Feels nice out there today, doesn't it?

The original equipment line was 3/16" OD. A 1/8" ine will work, but you'll need to do some adapting. The vacuum advance has a 3/16" inverted flare female fitting.
