Throttle body bypass

What's the size of the tubing. I have researched and saw 3/8th. Is that outer diameter? Or inner? What size do I need? I'm currently doing this. Thought I had the right size. I was wrong. Any quick help is appreciated. 93z28

I thought you don't need anything or did miss something the hose you are

correct does look like 3/8 . What is it you are needing ?

I have a 93. The routing is different I guess.

Yes, 93-94 is different. 3/8" inside diameter and you will need a 3/8" hose union (hose barb) plus clamps.

Sure. Basically, all you are doing is removing the coolant hoses from the TB and joining them together.
