what can i do to hide the vacuum booster line? it interferes SEVERELY with my valve covers where it is now and i plan on buying tall aluminum ones here soon and it's ugly looking.

I always just build a new one from scratch. That way, you can make it any shape you need.

Here's one I built awhile back.

hmm...could i just cut it off straight behind the carb and run a long rubber line down behind the valve covers to hide it?

Sure, just make sure and use good hose that won't collapse under vacuum.

Almost finished with my swap, I am making all my vacuum lines out of steel, and routing them around stuff to hide them. Looking really good, but most likely annoying my help (G-Man69) with the extra delay tie!!!

What are these made out of and what size is needed? What do they hook up to...carb &/or manifold?

Mine runs to a vacuum port behind my carb. Mine is actually on the intake. I used 3/8" steel line as much as I could, then connected it with rubber hose.
