AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Question i have a 1996 camry.i just bought a air intake hose for it.they send me the wrong one.i guess i need one with california emissions.is there any way that i can still use this hose.
Answer Greg,
My most sincere apologies for taking so long to get back with you. We are short handed at work and I have been getting my butt kicked and yelled at by retail customers and wholesale customers. I'm the wholesale manager at a local parts store but have had to work the front (retail) and back (wholesale) counter for the last 4 days. When I get home, I just want to sit down. Again, Sorry...
You probably cannot use that hose. You will have to get the one that has the CARB (California Air Research Board)approval. It probably has different "hook ups" for different sensors. You didn't tell me what size engine you have so I can't look up the hose to see if it is available in the aftermarket. IF it isn't, IF you can get me the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part number, I may be able to run it through my computer network and find one.
I hope this helps a bit and am VERY SORRY for taking so long to respond..
