Vacuum line sizes?

[wreckwriter]

Hey guys,

My car is at the mechanic so I can't check this myself, wonder if someone could help me out real quick?

There are basically 3 smallish vacuum line off our intake, all are hard plastic lines. The first is the PCV line, this is a 3/8 line that runs from passenger side front to rear of driver side valve cover. Then is is a short one running across the front of the intake and a long one that runs all the way from front of intake back to firewall.

What I need is to know if the other 2 are the same size as the PCV line or if they are smaller (say 5/16?). I want to replace them with braided hose and would like to order the stuff today if possible.

Thanks!

He did not, just related advice. You know the sizes Ray?

I can get it. I have a caliper and I can get the id sizes for you in a few minutes. The lines are off my car.

The plastic with the yellow squeeze connector is 3/8". The plastic line with the u bend is 5/16"

[wreckwriter]

Thanks Ray! Is the 5/16 one the long or short one (can't look at mine yet)?

It's the short one, it's attached on the right side of the intake, makes a u turn and goes to the part I broke on the left head.

[wreckwriter]

Perfect. Thanks again!

You're welcome. What is the 3rd line?

The third one is the PCV line, where the catch can goes, its 3/8.

Cool.

[BlueJacket]

So one line is 5/16 and two are 3/8 for the three lines that run over the TB?

[wreckwriter]

Yea but the 5/16 (AN -5) hose is proving hard to find. Smmit sells it but out of stock, Jegs doesn't seem to sell it.

Yep.

Sounds like a fun project - would you mind posting the part#'s you got after you get them all & on the car? wouldn't mind doing something like that myself to make it look a little better!

[wreckwriter]

Sure will Steve.

[BlueJacket]

Sure will Steve.

"braided hose"?

It hurts to even think about it! :p

[wreckwriter]

Procharger?

Not yet, that's on order. Converter.

[wreckwriter]

Why is there no -5 AN braided hose available anywhere???
