    I don't think any of the hoses were striped aside from the windshield washer hose, which was yellow.

    Can you post a picture?

    72STAGE1 STAGE 1 & 2

    It goes to the vacuum canister on firewall I believe.

    I think it goes to the back of the heater controls.

    Non-AC cars don't have heater control valves, either, IIRC.

    yes its a white stripped hose that runs from the heater valve to the back of the heater controls it stops hot water from going to the heater core when the ac is on.size isnt listed anywhere however there are some places that sell different sized white stripped hose...i wanna make sure i get the right size

    Be careful when ordering vacuum hose…pay attention to ID vs OD

    You will need 5. maybe a little more. I just measured 58" on one I have and I'm not sure it wasn't cut on engine side. I have a super nice (known) full length one around here, but, not available to measure right now.
