5/32" Hard Emission Lines and Connectors

JimJam300
Hey guys since my 1982 Bronco is a California model, I have a whole mess of 5/32" vacuum tubing going all around my engine bay along with lots of weird connectors for emissions equipment, none of which I can find online or at any auto parts store. I can find black tubing for the application, but any red, yellow, and green color-coded tubing I find online is rated for engine bay temperatures. Unfortunately I need all these lines connected properly to pass CA emissions testing.

If anyone knows where to find these things, I will be forever grateful.

Okay so I did manage to find some 5/32" / 4mm OD plastic tubing for a reasonable price on McMaster-Carr

The max temp rating is 200 degrees F which I feel is way too low if it's going to be hanging out in the engine bay, especially the bundle that goes over the exhaust manifold.

How 'bout this stuff from Amazon?  It is available in red, blue, and black.  And at the bottom of the page there are other options, including green.

I would go with something silicone but it's 5/32 ID, whereas I'm still trying to use the factory connectors for 5/32 OD.
