Re: [Amc-list] Vacuum wiper hose - size and length?

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I think the hose is 5/16" and you'll need about 5 feet of it. Also, the 
vacuum hose is hooked up to the top of the wiper motor near where the 
control cable attaches. I'm not sure how the 196 cars had the vacuum 
hooked up but everything else I've seen had a hard line running from the 
intake manifold to the fuel pump and then a hose from the pump to the motor.
