One of the hoses on the A.I.R pipe on the left side of the check valve with two clamps on it has a hole in it and is pretty tough (hard). I can't seem to find this what seems to be fitted hose anywhere online. Does anyone know where I would be able to find this hose? Or any alternative ways to replace it I have seen people attempt to just use a regular hose but it blew out a side on theirs.

 

What year Corvette? best option is to post a want to buy ad here on the forum and see if anyone has what you need.

 

Yep always list the year of your car. I may have that hose. I saved all my AIR junk when I deleted the AIR on my '85. You might consider doing that as well since your in FL. Its easy and cleans up your engine bay.

 

It is an 85 sorry I forgot to post that in the OP.

 

Can you tell us which item number it is in this picture:

 

Here is a photo of the piece. The hole isn't visible from this angle

 

There should be one on the other side in a similar location and using the image in Cliff's post likely #68. The GM # for the hose originally would have been 14085800 and was discontinued many years ago.

I'd take the AIR check valve # 22048212 to an auto parts store have them cross that to one of theirs and confirm the ID on the check valve side and measure the diameter of the pipe. You could take that part # also to a dealer to confirm. Best of recollection the check valve will be 5/8 and the pipe smaller maybe 1/2 and that presents the problem. Is there a 5/8 to 1/2 emissions quality hose available that can be found? Likely but it might require some effort. If per chance they're both 5/8 you would be home free and just need a short section of 5/8 emissions quality hose.

The catch will be emissions hose - it would be easier to accomplish with a heater hose but not all heater hose is emissions rated. Some is greater than and some less than.

Could you remove the hose and insert a nipple? Maybe. A vulcanizing tire patch? Maybe also. A patch wouldn't require removal of the hose if the hole is minimal! Could the check valve be 1/2"? Maybe. Removing the hose will likely destroy it.

You mentioned left but isn't that a passenger side image?

 

I think i actually found the hose online I meant passenger side. I was looking at the car the wrong way I should have been more clear.

Here is a link to the page I found it on
http://parts.nalleygmc.com/products/.../14085800.html

 

That's the part # I mentioned and it's not been available for years. Your Nalley link mentions that also.

 

Oh I over looked that part of the page. On the hunt again I guess. I will try the process you suggested.

I found some emission hoses but I am unsure of what temp ranges I should be looking for.

I have seen some that say -40F to 257F would that exceed the temps be in that part of the engine?

 

The part number for that hose is 14085800.

Nalley is showing them as active parts. Whether they actually have them or can get them is another story:

I believe the N/A in the inquiry response as "manufacturer" is the NOT AVAILABLE "indicator". An available "still" or "possibly still" would reflect a "GM" indicator. Ain't my work but it seems very likely.

There is large swap meet at the NCRS show in Kissimmee this weekend, and venders from over the country are there, selling lot of used parts that you can build car from there vendors.
Just make sure you look at everything, and there is lot to see, keep eyes open.

 

Let me go out to my pole barn tomorrow and see if I still have one. I will send you a PM by this time tomorrow if I do.
The wind chill is below 0 here in Michigan and I have not been out there all week.

Lol the weather is really nice this time in the afternoon.

I just received an email from Nally confirming that they are unable to get this part.

 

Google the part number. I can usually find parts like this on eBay.

You would think with all the guys taking off their emissions equipment that there would be some available...

 

Time to travel to Kissimmee Florida and checkout the NCRS show.

 

Jeez but this is nasty weather. No idea what the wind chill factor is but my thermometer show 16F but it feels like minus-something with the wind.

I have not even plowed the pole barn driveway yet as the Vette is not going anywhere this month!

Here is the hose. Measured at 3 1/2". Will this work for you?
PM sent.

 

If you measure and confirm the hose ID's on either end then the OP could maybe just purchase "NEW" locally before disassembling it. It would seem to be maybe of greater service to the OP to confirm dimensions for a "local" buy vs. a used replacement that regardless of whether it's been installed or on the shelf after removed from an active system is still "aged"! Just sayin'

It wouldn't be unusual in instances that the OE part removed might display the original part #. If that's the case and it were a "project" it could matter I guess! It might only display the original GM spec also, a project might require this over an "off the shelf" service replacement also.

 

Great idea. ID is 5/8" The part number is worn and difficult to read:
