I did my valley hoses and am reassembling everything. There is a hose that is surrounded by a foil coated shield ( lots of the foil is gone ) that comes from right side fender and plugs in right under the throttle body ( I don't know what the hose is called ) There is clip-retainer that holds the hose in place where it plugs in. The retainer / clip thing has gone missing I don't know what it's called so I have no idea how to order it.

Can anyone shed some light please ?

 

You should only need replace the oring and black plastic piece.

 

Thanks very much

 

I ended up losing that retaining clip too, in the end I used some high temp silicon to "glue" it in place and ensure there was no vac leak.

 

to BobRoy or some other more knowledgeable than I ...Do you have a part number for the foil coated sleeve/shield as well. if i am going to order the kit , might as well replace the sleeve and make it look a bit better too

 

Sorry I don't know.
You can use your own insulating material . I think the reason for the sleeve is to protect the plastic tube from the heat of the nearby exhaust manifold. I see no reason you can't design your own with an insulating material that appeals to you aesthetically.

 

Thanks ...it would just be easier to buy off the shelf

 

Barry,
I think this is what you are looking for. This is at Jagbits. You can use the part # to search elsewhere.

I purchased insulation sleeves at an auto parts store (can't remember which one) several yrs ago when I replaced the PS lines.
