vacuum hose diameter?

Hi there, after swapping engines and developing running/stalling problems when warm I have decided to change my vacuum pipes. Ive looked for a kit but can only seem to find it on a roll. Does anyone know the diameter of the pipe.
thanks

Re: No Spark

No, on top of the coil is a terminal with 2 green wires, I put it from there to the engine block and it sparks a few times but then fires. I can remove the wire and it will start fine for 5 or 6 times then will go dead again! Frustrating! Thanks for answering.

Re: No Spark

I've tried to put a thick earth from chassis to engine block but it still didn't fire. :? Could it be a coil fault? Haven't really got the cash to call a mechanic at the mo and I'm sure it must be something and nothing as it runs sweet as a nut when it fires?? Help please!
