Default Can you recognize this part/line?
1970 454 Auto Transmission

The only line I did not label when I removed the engine and auto transmission 2 years ago. I want to replace the rubber parts, so can any one identify it so I can order?

Kind regards
Paul

Make sure you get proper vacuum hose and not just regular hose.

Check the ends on the steel line, should look vaguely like this



The rubber line down at the transmission has a 90 deg bend formed in it, can't really take a straight line and bend it as it will kink closed.

Speaking of vacuum modulator lines . . . .
Is there any purpose for the top end of the steel line to be reduced in size, (two times) like it is?

All things being equal it will react to a change in the vacuum faster than if the pipe was all the same size.
It also makes the rubber hose fit nicer
