Hey all,
My M38A1 engine is nearly completely restored! The only thing left is the vacuum, fuel and whatever-else-there-may-be lines (I think Vacuum and fuel are it though).
I called Army Jeep Parts and Midwest and they said they could sell me. Somewhere around 240$ for the two kits total. That's a little more than I'm willing to fork out now, especially for something so...simple. I have the tubing bending and flaring tools, so it shouldnt be too much of a hassle to make them - maybe like a weekends time or something. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has already done this - and already made up a list of what kind of fittings were needed and approximately how much tubing they needed. I figure I can save some time figuring this all out for myself if one of you already did it.
Anyway, if anyone has a list of this stuff, please let me know! Much thanks! _________________ Bob Collins

Drop me an email or check my listing under the For Sale section. As for the rest all the vaccum lines are 3/16 steel except for the 8 copper lines. Most all of the parts are available at NAPA or check out this site
I have not fully reasearched the vent lines and fittings required for the M-38A1, but have all but one of my M-38 done, looking for a 3/16" check valve... have found it, but the company will not sell to me as I am not a company...
