Does anyone know if the 430 metal vacuum line to the distributor is the same as the 352.I know the carbs are different but dont know where the ports are on the 352 carb as compared to the 430 carb. Ive look at all the usual vendors and none list a 430 vacuum line only the 352. It seems that most of the parts vendors dont list a whole lot of parts for the 430. Is there one vendor that list 430 parts more than others.

RE: Vacuum line to Distributor
From the diagram, the Carter carburetor(430) has the distributor vacuum line on the right front while the Autolite (352) has it on the right side. Both the 352 and 430 distributors are in the front. My guess is that you should be able to bend the 352 vacuum line to fit. Your other alternative is to get tubing and the distributor ends from a vacuum line ends from an auto store and bend your own line. The tubing is still easy to get, the end fittings are probably not so easy to get any more. It still is worth a try.
Another alternative is to try an Lincoln dealer who deals with early sixties Lincolns, to see if they sell repro distributor vacuum lines. It should be similar or the same.

RE: Vacuum line to Distributor
I used this company. Everything fit PERFECTLY. It was pretty scary that these acctually "bolted on" with no modification/tweeking.
I also went the extra mile to get stainless. It looks great.

RE: Vacuum line to Distributor
Do you have a 430 with a carter as inline tube catalog only shows for 352
