Default Vacuum hose color stripe & WSW hose

I'm looking for a source regarding the color and routing of vacuum hoses on the Super Duty 455 engine.
It seems Photobucket has blocked a lot of the picture content on this site.
Information in the assembly manual is limited on this subject.
I have found the following:
Red=EGR Ported
Green= fresh air
Violet=EFE, I don't see violent as a color that Ames shows in their catalog, maybe that should be blue.
White= ?
Blue=?
Yellow=?
I know my old wsw fluid hoses, pump to squirters has a green stripe, & no stripe on the larger container to pump hose.
Any help is appreciated.

Default Wiltek dated radiator & heater hose clamps

Does anybody know where to get dated Wiltek radiator and heater hose clamps?
I'm looking for dates for the second or third quarter of 1973.
Ames has them from 2Q66 thru 2Q72.
The 2Q72 would be about a year-and-a-half B4 my vehicle manufacture date.
I checked eBay, they have a lot of $50 ones, but none with the dates I need.
Thanks!

Default Spelling correction

I guess if I spelled Wittek properly (not Wiltek) I'd get better search results

Marti has them. The same Marti as the Marti report of Ford fame. Saturate them with WD40 or similar lubricant prior to tightening

Thanks bent wheel, now that I spelled Wittek properly, I found several sources, including Broach Busters.
I'm not familiar with the source you mentioned, can you give me a link to it?

Default TH400 Tag

My TH400 PQ transmission tag looks pretty beat up.
what's the best place to get a reproduction one made?
Most places I've checked don't make the tags just the overlay decals.
Oh, here's another photo.
I know I must be making at least a few mistakes probably more. How about some feedback? Thanks!

There are reproduction PQ tags in Black and a Yellow, no Pink. Overlays are in Black and a Blue, again no Pink.

Thanks HFR, l was hoping to get a whole new tag made, but I might have to settle for a blue overlay.

Thanks, but I can't take much credit for the work, but I think I made a good choice with MFG my restorer. .
I took a quick look at your site, your work looks excellent!
Is that black 69 GTO a HT or vert? From the front view it looks like my triple black RAIII vert.
Do you have anymore pictures of it?

Car is looking great.

Please let me know if you find anyone that reproduces the aqua stripe washer fluid hose. My ‘73 survivor car has them as well.

Default Wsw hose

Bwb, here's a shot of my original wsw hose. I always thought it was a green stripe hose, but it's so deteriorated it's hard to tell. Ames shows 5/32" color striped "vacuum" hoses in white blue green red yellow. I ordered white red and yellow, but I had them sent to my restorer so I haven't seen them yet.
Maybe the blue hose would work for wsw.
I did not find them listed under hoses but under vacuum related in their F-22 catalog page 187.
Let me know if you think they would work for wsw.

HFR, did you see post #97? I'm not sure but it might be a wsw hose source.

You will probably notice I'm installing a Pypes system, not an original style like a Gardner. I purchased the Pypes system from PY probably 10 or 12 years ago, before I planned on doing a concourse restoration.
During the exhaust system installation it was discovered that the exhaust pipes were too long and need to be shortened to make the system fit properly.
