End of day 2 still going - M60 Intake gaskets and PCV plate

[Alpinewhite]

Hi All,

Atlast I have taken the intake manifold out after some mistakes which I have to correct now. I need answers to these questions

1. I am planning to remove all the vaccum hoses and install new ones. Stealer doesn't have them in stock I have been waiting for a week already. They all look identical to me. Can I get a few feet of this hose from some other place?

2. When I severed the fuel line on the driver side (It wouldn't budge), there was not much pressure. Just some fuel dripped out. Is this normal?

3. Can I reuse the fuel hose which I severed at the chasis end. Cut the damaged portion and plug it back in? Is it safe?

4. I have to wait for parts now and If I get them all I will be able to do some work on Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanks
Arun

yes normal vacuum line will work

yep, it bleeds down when the car sits

3. Can I reuse the fuel hose which I severed at the chasis end. Cut the damaged portion and plug it back in? Is it safe?

i do this all of the time, m60s seem to be some of the worst for the rubber sticking to the nipples

Thanks for your answers Winfred. I still dont understand many wrench terms hence I need some clarification please

Where will I get the normal vaccum line? And what specification hose I should ask for.

Thanks
