I didn't know where else to post this.. In my 88 TPI, there are 2 small black vaccum hoses in the pass side wire harness running thru the firewall. One hose runs to the heater bypass valve and one up to the plenum area. The other end of the 2 goes thru the firewall and to a purple and a grey vaccum hose controlled by the heater console lever. I have been to the dealer, i have been everywhere looking for something that will work, but i cant find any plastic hose! Its not pictured anywhere that my parts guy here at my 2 dealers can find . I dont want to use rubber hose! Please, I know some of you guys have had to replace this crap, it breaks in a million pieces after 12 years of hot and cold!!! ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe that is the hard plastic tubing. It is also called hard emmissions tubing. I know what a problem you are having. Had the same problem last year after a little engine fire. Finally found the stuff at Advance Auto. It comes in a couple of different sizes and they carry the different fittings to go with it also. There site is under constuction, but you can e-mail them. I believe it is advanceauto .com .

 

Thanks Tony!
