You might have to tweak it a little as, I believe, there is a height difference because of the tach drive, but it should be minor adjusting.

They usually are pre--bent

I ordered one from T-Bird yesterday, I didn't ask but I'm hoping it's already bent and not a line that has to be bent.

The TBird parts suppliers have the vacuum line that goes from the carb to the distributor on a 55.  I assume the sedans are the same as the TBirds.  I see it listed in the CASCO catalog.   Part # 12370AL.  It comes with the fittings.

Thanks guys, it's been a big help.

I have used the brake tubing (bent with a common brake tubing plier) - with rubber tubing ends slipped over the original "stubs" to get things moving along. The rubber ends make it a bit easier to hook up a "tee" for a vacuum gauge tap while troubleshooting, etc.

1/8" line is very easy to bend. I don't know if those fitting are double flares or not?

The tube nuts are referred to as double flare nuts and may be tough to find. You do not use a flaring tool for these; the nut and seat form the bulge. I think Dormann might offer the nuts.

I believe it is 1/8". With that said if you can get a photo of one on an engine you can make it. The bender and flare tool are available from many suppliers including Harbor Freight and Eastman. The 1/8" steel line is normal brake line which is available at a good parts store at various lengths, that way you get both ends you need. Make it first out of a coat hanger to get it to look correct, then do it with the tubing. Good luck
