Everyone see the RED and GREEN lines in the picture? Good, I am told by a prophet, Ian Epperson as some call him, that two hoses belong there. However, this prophet says I must find out the correct diameter and length on my own. So that is my quest, can anyone tell me the sizes so I can gain all 55 ponies back, stop causing global warming, and quit having to clean my engine from all the oil that sprays all over my engine bay? Thanks! Wink

Edit: You should be able to enlarge the picture if you cannot see the green and red lines drawn by Him. Laughing

Laughing I aint no prophet, just a guy who's had got a long history of screwing up his engine. Wink I used to live by the advice from the Topica Things list, these days I'm just trying to return the favor.

I know you've got problems with ordering online, but maybe you can ask The Thing Shop to ship COD?

Here it is at CIP:
VHD-N20-3531 - HOSE 3 5X2MM VACUUM - METER
http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VHD%2DN20%2D3531

So, if I'm reading that right, it's 3.5mm hose - that's 1/8 inch or so if you're shopping at Autozone. It'll be tight.

I think this is the correct breather hose:
VHD-N20-3741 - HOSE 12X3 1/3MM SMOG - METER
http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=VHD%2DN20%2D3741

12mm is very close to 1/2 inch - the 1/2 inch hose from Autozone should work. It'll be loose, so you may want to use a hose clamp.

the air filter thermostat has a piece of red and a piece of green. the red is 4mm ID and the green is 4.5mm ID. the black 3.5mm stuff will work in a pinch but it doesn't fit very well. i'm not sure what they used on the air cleaner in the thingshop photo, but to be correct the t-stat uses the green and red hose.

we have the green one too but i can't find it on our site for some reason Embarassed
