On my 1980, do all the vacuum hoses big and small supposed to have spring band clamps on them? I don't remember seeing any and I am a second owner and have had it for 40 years.
Why would you need clamps on a vacuum line?
Seriously, I believe the lines on the headlight actuators have spring clamps. Why there needed I do not know.

Hello,
Typically you can determine if a hose had a spring clamp on it by examining the hose to see if the clamp left an imprint in the hose's surface.

This is from a tower clamp but illustrates a hose with a clamp imprint.
BREEZE branded hose clamps; especially their Breeze-LINER series (NO worm-screw slots cut into hose).
BREEZE manufactures every dang kinda type & size hose clamp you might imagine. AFAIK, ALL USA. Top Quality.
Rarely found in auto parts stores. Find em at HD truck / OTR / Marine parts houses.
