Vacuum Tubes

So I replaced like..3 of them because they were so rotten and dried up that they broke off without much effort when I was putting the rockers in. Yeah, it was pretty bad.

 

Basically what I replaced is from the top of the engine right above the intake manifold, throttle body, and rear valve cover. Are there any others that I need to replace elsewhere?

just find the vacuum ball and see what goes where. i think there are like 4 or 5 main ones, but if you aren't currently having vacuum problems and everything else looks and seems fine, i wouldnt bother. did you get new replacement lines, or did you use some rubber hose or something?

I got new replacement lines. The old vacuum tubes were VERY badly dried up. They were extremely brittle. Its not that I'm having problems now. I simply don't want to have problems later.
