??? Rigid Vacuum Line Length on 1972 454, 4-Speed Car ???

[Monte M.]

I am trying to figure out the length of the rigid vacuum line on the passengers side of the carb on a 1972 Corvette with a 454 in it. It clips into the two clips that the upper valve cover bolts hold in place.

I am looking for the over all length. It has the flange about an inch from each end, but the over all lenght is easier to work with.

Best if you could share the length on each side of the 90* radius too.

Thanks for taking the time guys.

Hi Monte,
I'm sorry I can't help with dimensions.
Do you have the M. F. Dobbins '68-72 Fact Book'? On page 193 there are 2 pretty good photos of the right side of a 72 454 engine. The hard line is clearly shown, and perhaps by using reference points on your engine you may be able to determine the length.
MAYBE?
Regards,
Alan
