Yes vaccuum hose does make good HV ignition wires. But any method will only keep an honest person honest. Any car or truck can be striped, sold as parts or what have you, It's been done even with newer car's & truck where people buy a wreck and have the wreck even plated, then steal the matching car and switch the numbers and sell someware else. The only way around that is to have other numbers stamped (ie SIN or DL#)into the body & frame hidden from normal view to help you and the police ID it should it turn up later.
