Posted August 30, 200915 yr comment_293294 Today I replaced all the vapor hoses. What a PITA! Though difficult, it's now complete and that's one more part of the project complete.I used all stock fuel/vapor hose from NAPA, and used aluminum tubing inside the hose to form the required curves and bends. I used some stock rubber pieces from McMaster-Carr I had laying around the garage as boots to seal two of the lines to the body.It would have been much easier if I had removed the fuel tank, but I just lowered it. Getting the hose on the fitting at the back of the tank was difficult. My arms are scraped and bruised from reaching between the rear valence lip and the lip on the tank.Next I need to figure out why the brakes don't seem to be working...

August 30, 200915 yr comment_293324 Julio, did Napa stock the 5/8" fuel hose for the vent? I need to replace mine as well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/33004-finished-replacing-the-vapor-hoses/#findComment-293324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
August 30, 200915 yr Author comment_293329 Yep. They had to get the 5/8" and 3/4" for the fill neck to evaporation tank.from another store. Took all of 2 hours for them to get it to my local store. They also had 7/16" ID fuel hose, which was easier to install than 3/8" ID to replace the 10-11 mm hose.
