I orderd a vacume kit from automobile atlanta to make the car idle a little better. the hoses were all loose and dry. the kit came about an hour ago, it came in a yellow bag with two papers stapled with it. inside the bag is a bunch of hoses that look nice but the paper reads 1.8 litre 74-75. My car is a 73 2.0 litre, I called my sales rep right away (Doug White) and he said that all the kits are the same. No worries. I am not at home yet but it seems hard to believe that even though the engine layouts are different the vacume hose would be the same pieces.

That is BULL! All of the kits are NOT the same. Each is specially cut with the proper (what is now available) Continental hoses (the company who originally made them for Porsche) Although they have mixed the colors around, they are still colorful. We periodically fit the hoses on engines here to insure that we still have the patterns on the money. Any one needing routing help, we are here for you.

George may pipe in on this subject but I would say that is probably true. My car is a 2.0 liter as well and the kit came with far more hoses than I needed to do the engine compartment. Possibly the other hoses are the overlap to other models?

So do I need to send this kit back for the right one??

It doesn't surprise me that you received the wrong kit.
It seems every time I order from there, and I try to support them,
that I receive the wrong part and invariably have to ship it back and wait again
for the correct parts.
