Finished Replacing the Vapor Hoses

[Oiluj]

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...

Julio, did Napa stock the 5/8" fuel hose for the vent? I need to replace mine as well.

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.
