Hi there!
Nice huh? I've searched a long time for a replacement for the vacuum hoses and found these ones on a dealer for compressed air equipment. These are hoses for compressed air but they look very nice and so I used them as vacuum hoses. The end caps normally squeezed with a press and so the hoses can't be removed without destroying them. Normally the caps a blank anodized metal but I painted them black and put them only for optical reasons over the hoses without squeezing. Here is another detail shot:
The hoses are so called "Silber-Schl?uche" here in Germany or Switzerland. I would translate the name to "silver hoses". They are available with diameters of 3.5mm up to 25.0mm.
Need more pics? Here's another one:
But back to my main problem. I solved the possible vacuum loss by this way:
There should be no loss of vacuum anymore and the valve cover is connected too. But there is no change on the running problem with the engine.
But as I know now that this is not a problem with the flashing CEL I should start a new thread.

I don't think it matters, but you can short the connection after it's started to be certain. This willl bypass the ECU auto-advance. If you don't do this, your timing will read @ 25-30 degrees advanced.
