1958 vacuum advance line

[James R.]

Per the judges guide, my vacuum advance line should be a metal line attaching to a fitting on the front of the carb base plate. My car is a base engine, manual transmission and a single carb. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction to get the correct fittings and the line. CC used to sell the line repro, but, the part is discontinued. I can always bend a brake line to make it fit, but, I don't know what the correct fitting should be coming off the vacuum advance and the fitting for the front of the carb. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

James:
Do you have the correct vacuum advance mounted to the distributor. It requires the same fitting as the frount of the carb. I have a picture of mine if you want me to sent it. Paragon part # 3893 is shown on page 12 that requires the fitting/metal line for the advance unit. You can call Grossmueller's to see if they have a used one.

Frank,

Thanks for the reply. I believe I have the correct vacuum advance cannister (hexagon). Please send me the pic...it would be very helpful. What did you use for a line?
