OK,

I admit it. I bought a Samco silicone vacuum line kit from a listmember many moons ago but I have been nervous about doing the upgrade. I have trouble picturing how this hosing, which looks a little over-sized compared to the old rubber hose, will fit into some of the t-fittings and other spots. On my 1995 850 wagon (N/A) I see some lines that are pretty small and very hard that actually go into the fitting and I wonder how I could get the silicone tubing in that opening?

I have been using the excuse of cold weather and no garage or warm place to work on this. I even thought more than once about getting rubber vacuum tubing instead. But I need to do this. I have a rough idle when the engine is cold (and still not smooth after warm up) and I believe my chronic cruise control issue is directly related to the same thing. (If it is below 30 degrees F outside, the cruise will not hold until the car is completely warmed up. Even when it is warm, it will not hold the speed at which I engage the cruise, always dropping back about 5 mph.)

So, any help anyone can offer, tips, photos, rants, jibes or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
