does anyone know where you can find 7/16 vacuum hose by the foot

I have called every parts store in the area no one has it
it's for the power brake booster to the manifold
also need 3/8 from the carb to the pcv valve

 

I bought some at NAPA a few months ago.

Chris, I just called my local advance auto store and they have it, you may have to ask for fuel hose, not vac line.
good Luck!

 

I thought fuel hose would collapse if you used it on the power booster to the manifold

 

The correct hose for the PCV is 15/32 . It is sold as PCV hose. It is heavy walled to stop it from collasping under high vacuum situations. It can also be used on the vacuum booster. Any good parts store should have it. Napa should be able to get it no problem. Auto Zone , Advance and Pep Boys have no idea there is such a item as 15/32 PCV hose.

 

Thanks Lou
followed your directions and will be picking it up at napa on the way home
Caper solved:TU:

 

Hmmm, I have not encountered that, but I suppose it is possible.

 

Fuel hose is braided to prevent colapsing or expanding under pressure. I've used it in vac situations for years and it works just fine. If it can handle 80psi of fuel passing through it can handle 18 hg of vac with no problem. I will say that it tends to be a pain to cut though so don't be suprised if your cut ends aren't 100% straight.
