Most bundles I am seeing are "7/64 5/32 7/32 9/32".

I could have sworn I needed 5/32, 7/32, and 3/8?

I'd cut some off and hit the local parts store, but I inquired previously and they charged like $1.00 and change per foot.

If you own more than one car, or change projects frequently, then it's most economical to look for your sizes by cleaning the hoses (they're printed on from the factory) and order by the 50 ft spool online.

That works best for everything but replacement fuel line hose to handle the ethanol. That you use so little of its cheaper to just bite the bullet and purchase by the foot.

They'd been replaced and either say nothing or it's weathered away. I kept doing some digging online. Does 7/64, 5/32, 7/32 sound right to you guys?

On my 83 H/O,, they are 5/32,,,7/32,, and 9/32.. The 9/32 is for the cruise control..my car is a 25k all original survivor and those sizes are stamped on the 5 and 7/32...vac lines are still original equipment and date coded

@25K original miles... I'm going to have to side with you and say that probably pretty legit. haha
