    vacuum line

    I have to replace the vacuum line that comes out of my distributor. The tube is very small and the end doesn't seem to be flared. What kind of fitting does this have? Does the line have some different type of flare? and were can I find a replacement for this line or fitting? thanks

    it is a 51 buick special, but I am running dual carters off of a 41. the tube from each the 51 and 41 seem to be the same, but both are damaged.

    That would be a crush fitting (or whatever they call it)...take it in to your better local auto parts store and they should have one. There will be no flare on the line. Tell the store it's for a vacuum advance canister...
