vapor canister hoses
I have a 1972 L48 car with air conditioning. I am restoring the engine compartment and can find all the vacuum hoses reproduced except the 2 that come from the vapor canister behind the left front fender. There is one small one that goes from the small port on the canister up to the carb and a 3/8" hose that goes from the large port on the canister up to the T on the pcv valve then on to the baseplate of the carb. I cant seem to find those 2 anywhere! Anyone else found these from a vendor?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I've never ordered anything from them, but perhaps Paragon Corvette?

You could just take a section of each of the original hoses to a few local car parts stores (NAPA, CarQuest, Advance and, yes, even "The Zone") might have very similar hoses.
If you don't find something within 1 hour of starting your search..........order the 'good' stuff.

If it's what I'm thinking, it's a thin wall hose and looks something like vacuum tubing, not your typical fuel line. Not easy to source. If that's what your hose looks like. How about a picture of the cross section?
