Hello All;

I would like to know the correct size and if there are any special markings for the vacuum hose that operate the windshield wipers on my 66 Eldorado.  Mine are cracking and need to be replaced.  I am not sure if the ones on my car are correct so someone much more knowledgeable than I would be a great help.

Thank You.

On your '66 the wipers are electric.  The hoses you see leading
from the motor/washer assembly are windshield washer hoses that carry the washer fluid from the reservoir to the washer pump and from the pump to the two washer nozzels. Best bet for a correct fit is to snip a n end off the two different sizes and match them up at your parts store.
