I managed to kink this line while doing an engine swap and need help

[MountainMan300]

Hey all,

I managed to kink this line really badly while doing an engine swap (even worse than the picture). I'm new to all this and don't have a part number for it, much less know what it's called. Can anyone help me please?

Probably something they don't make any more. I'd pull one off another truck or just cut it down to and replace the whole thing with flexible line.

Looks like the vacuum line to your brake booster to me. I'd install a nipple in the intake manifoled, assuming it's NPT, and use the proper size vacuum line.... or like I did on my old Buick, I used some sort of pressure rated yellow colored sprayer hose, from Lowes (20+ years ago).

Tsk tsk. Vacuum line isn't expensive enough to cheap out on. Lol

I don't think I cheaped out on it. It's still on the Buick. I'm guessing it's over speced not under speced. It sure has lasted. I will admit that it hasn't seen a lot of heat since the Buick mostly sits, but time isn't kind to hoses, either.

Yep thats the brake booster vac hose. rockauto.com has it.

Or bend a new one from parts-store double-wall seamless steel tubing.
