Many thx for these specs. I am trying to get my 92 6cyl C/C working and suspect vacuum lines. This will help if someone knows if the sizes are available at the usual aftermarket stores or not?

I recommend buying silicone vac pipes as replacements Also, if you have the GM400 gearbox, replace the vac modulator vacuum pipe too. The gearbox is far more responsive with a good vac pipe, and silicone is far more heat resistant.
