Simple question this time on my 1980 245 DL with a M-46 and a b-21f.

There is obviously a vacuum leak somewhere, as my car's idle is all over the place, despite whatever the idle screw is set at. Many of the hoses are hard anyway, so I've decided the time has come to replace all the hoses.

How much hose should I buy, and what sizes of hose are necessary?

Is there a higher quality vacuum hose I should pay a bit more for?

Any tips or tricks that can be offered to me? This seems like an easy enough job.

Thanks as always.
