    I am trying to reconnect my vacuum gauge.

    First where does it connect to the engine.
    Second. Wat type of line do I use.

    If I recall when I took it off nine years ago it was routed with some type of rubber tubing. Removed it when I took the tub off to paint the frame and never reconnected it. I also have electric wipers.

    The vacuum lines on most engines are 5/32" ID. If the 1/4" vacuum (not fuel) hose is too large, 5/32 is what you need. Like jeepen wrote, rubber hose is fine, though if you want to be fancy you can use copper or steel (brake line), and short lengths of rubber hose to join the ends.
