Vacuum Hoses
I have a late 77 non CA. Received my engine vacuum hose kit from Zipps. Quick question; there is a short red hose in the package. I don't see a red hose on mine. Any ideas where it should go? This is the engine vacuum hose kit. Thanks for your help. Put my carb on last night, so after I change the hoses out I should be able to crank her up. Just in time for spring. Thanks again..

I would just use the process of elimination. Swap one at a time after matching them and see what's left after you're done. It could be for a different eng, i.e., L48/L82, or for a CA. car. This is typical as the manufacturer probably makes one kit per year, which is much easier than stocking 3 or 4 kits for each year.

Call Zipp. Don't they supply you with a hose diagram? Some vendors are so obsessed with making money that they forget about the customer. How can they sell you a bunch of hoses and not tell you where they go? Suppose you are doing a rebuild and there are no hoses present? Or what if the PO put the hoses on incorrectly?
