I am almost finished with my V8 tractor (I am building a 9N tractor with an '50 8BA). I hope to start it this weekend. I have the original hard vacuum line from distributor to carburetor but it is rusty and bent up. I am having a hard time finding a source for this part. All the websites I see list '48 and back but not '49-53. The ends appear to be unique. Will the '48 one work? It looks short from the picture, but hard to know. Do I just cut it off and use the ends with rubber tube between? Thanks!
