84 A/C and Heater Vaccum Lines

[Thomas F.]

Does anyone know where I can purchase those tiny vaccum lines used to control the A/C and heater in my 84? A mouse got into my car and chewed completely through about 4 lines. Thanks.

Thomas how much of the lines did the mouse chew up? Reason I ask is that you can repair the lines to some extent.
If you have any spray bottles that numerous liquids come in the plastic piece that runs the length of the bottle to suck up the liquid can be used to replace a hole in a vacuum hose.
Your local parts store should have different sizes of vacuum hose.

Thanks Jim for the reply. That is a good idea. I had not even thought about making a repair that way. I think there is enough slack to repair the hoses as you suggested. It looks like the mouse or mice just chewed a little bit from each hose, but they did chew them all the way through. I will see what I can do using this method of repair.

Thanks Dave, that is a very generous offer. I will keep this information on file and may seek your assistance later. I am trying to get this 84 back on the road. It has not been taken care of over the years. It sat out back in the grass at a repair shop for about 6 months and I am sure that is when the mouse or mice made it their home. I am trying to work through some electrical problems also. You may have seen a couple of my other posts with electrical questions. Have a great day!
