re-routing vacuum hose

Anyone with the 5.7 re route there vacuum hose? After reading some lx topics i might paint my manifold cover and also i wanna hide the vacuum hose . I'm not totally sure about manifold yet since my engine cover is all done up already

I did I will show you on mod night
I don't really have many close ups of it but these will give ya the idea




Basically get your self some fuel line cut the ends of the existing vacuum line leaving enough to put the new hose on

So the fuel line slips over stock vacuum hose.I wanna paint my manifold too but since I have my cover done it's not really that important by the way your engine looks sik

Please dont fuck with anything that contains fuel!!!!

ther's no fuel in vacuum line .well after im done it might

he means if you are going to paint your manifold you have to remove the fuel lines and rails... just be careful if you do that...

Yeah I cut the ends of the hard plastic vac tubes and it just happened I had some fuel line that fit so I used it

is thae guage on fuel rail an option for mine?

With aftermarket fuel rails it is

quick question i've been reading about manifold painting,they say to powder coat them.can you do that arent they plastic?

Cant "your powder coat guy" answer that? I sure hope he could!

he's in mexico possibly de-ported.....but imo it's plastic so no
i found a used one on lx for 130.thank's for the smart ass answer ...go wash your car....again

Can't powder plastic so no. Need to shave it down and smooth manifold.

it's too close to show season i might just wait for a week that rains alot or just do it in winter it doesn't look bad since i painted the fuel rail's

Trust me that shaving the manifold and smoothing it takes time and patience. I had 14 hrs of sanding in mine before I thru it to paint. Paul put another 4 hrs in it. So be prepared and take time and try not to fuck it up.

i have a new painter paul screwed me over.i'll post pics saturday when my dash shit's installed trying to copy the center bezel.hope it turns out ok

Sucks to hear but hopefully new guy is good. I'm waiting on my spoiler to get back from airbrushing. Hopefully be back Friday so I can install it.

i hope so i know that there will be a slight difference in style but hopefully they blend

so i'm problably going to do this tommorow.i bought some 9/32 hose so it's not too big but fits over the stock hose ends.i found two good plaaces to route the hose on driver side.one is below fuel rails but i think the engine will get to hot and burn hose,the second is putting right next to the wires from coil packs.....and as for the shaving of the tabs for now i might grind them down a little bit till i paint manifold
