I used 5/32" vacuum tube. I would guess about 10-12' would be enough.

Well, just for the heck of it, I went out and pulled out my Cruise Control module and took the aluminum cover off of it looking for poor solder connections. I didn't see anything that looked questionable til I looked at the pins on the connector.








The number 8 pin (which is the ground pin) was completely covered with corrosion.

I cleaned that pin up as best I could with a screwdriver and sandpaper and then put some vasaline on all of the pins and reinstalled it.






I have cracked vacuum tubing all over so I will get some new tubing and put it on too. I'll have to wait to try it out though until I get my new fuel pump installed.

If it still doesn't work now, I have an AMR5700 on the way, which I was planning on using til I saw my corroded connector.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Paul

So that would be 4mm equivalent then? I measured the stuff that I pulled off, it looks to be 5mm inside diameter. Do you think one is any better than the other?

I also measured the "T" at it's narrowest point and it looks to be 6mm.

Yes, 4mm. Its a tight fit on the different nipples, but it goes on easy enough.

Did you use hose clamps too or not?

No hose clamps. Just push the hose on and you're good.

Did cleaning up those corroded connections work? What ever happened with your cruise control?
