    Reassembling 4728...need assistance.

    I didn't get as many pics as I should have [when I took apart my car,] so I'll post here as I need assistance with miscellaneous where/what/how questions....thanks in advance!


    In the pic below:

    -What are these two hoses for, and where do they connect? (One is still connected near the gas filler neck, so I know where that one goes.)
    -Should I replace them?
    -What should I replace them with?

    Are you talking about hoses attached to the metal lines in the foreground? 3/8" line is brake booster vacuum (plastic tee behind passenger valve cover) and 1/4" line is evaporative emissions (charcoal canister).

    Yes, the hoses connected to the metal lines, thanks...I think I can probably just clean those, agree?

    Bill's answer is correct. I have never seen any reason to replace either of them. They never carry liquid.

    If you want to replace them "just because", the evap line needs to be fuel rated. The other one is nothing special but be sure you don't get something soft that will collapse. It's a vacuum line.

    Hi Rich,

    Here is a pic of where the 3/8 line goes... To the white fitting on the brake booster (behind the BMC reservoir in the pic). I just needed to clean the hoses. I found that Engine cleaner with silicone was great for the job. Of course, YMMV.

    Cool....thanks for the pic. Do you happen to have others [from either side] similar to that one that shows the routing of hoses & wiring harness?

    I would swear that I took more pics before I disassembled stuff, but it seems I have a lot of very detailed pics....not many of "the big picture."

    Hi Rich,

    Sure, these are ones that I took just now...

    The last one needs to be rotated to the left.

    Let me know if they are what you needed.

    Cheers,

    Dana, can I trouble you for a few more pics?

    I'm looking for a view from inside of each front wheel well so I can see everything from the FFE to the radiator, and also the lower speedo cable routing.

    I know I took pics of all this stuff, but having a helluva time finding my own pics -lol

    Thanks!

    *Edit...I just found which folder had the pics I was looking for, but still interested in the pics mentioned above if it's convenient.

    Replacement lower speedo cables are much shorter.
