FJ40 EGR to carb soft hose

[jrcfj40]

What type of hose should be used between EGR valve and carb(see yellow cap below)? Vacuum, fuel, etc. It appears to be around 5/8 diameter.

Vehicle is 5/1977 FJ40. Original hose appears to be NLA.

Thanks!
Jeff

I just replaced a bunch of hoses on my 6/77 FJ-40 carb and associated parts, and used vaccuum lines from an auto parts store. I brought the old hose into to match diameter, and bought a bunch of vaccuum line. Works great.

Replace all vacuum lines with silicone hoses, and you will save yourself all kinds of frustration later.

Silicon works best because of the heat, but I went for many years with generic heater hose.
