Whatever comes in the tubing kit... I think 1/8. (more)
It looks like the fitting in the tubing kit is designed to be threaded into the intake manifold. I would rather splice into one of the hoses with a T connector, which typically have the push-on barbed fittings. So how to go from the 1/8 nylon tubing to the T-connector?

so you buy like a foot of 3/8 hose..
use a 3/8 nylon T for the vac hose, cut a little piece of the 3/8 hose you bought and adapte the 1/8 hose that comes with it,
just make sure the inside dia is correct and it's a tight snug fit., then zip tie every join to make sure

I converted the nylon tubing (1/8") outer diameter to
rubber tubing with a 1/8" inner diamter once I got the nylon tubing into the engine bay. Slide the nylon tubing into the rubber tubing and zip tie it...Now you have tubing to fit on the outside of the T like the hose your tapping into does.
