Ribbed Heater Hose Search

Maybe your typo? But the 5/8 hose has no ribs.

I can't guarantee that the Vette's heater hoses are original but they satisfy the NCRS purists. The 3/4 hose is a dead match but the 5/8 hose is very slightly different than the Chevelle hose and varies slightly from the NCRS judging guide specs in the spacing. Splitting hairs here. - Bill W

----Yes, Bill, you are correct and I remember the font being way more correct than the one example above. Not sure what hose he uses, but he might stamp what someone sends him.....Bill S

Bill, thank you for your reply. I have seen original 5/8 hoses with no ribs that have the GM block stampings on them or have seen ribbed 5/8 hoses with no GM block markings on them. It seems like no one offers a smooth ribbed 5/8 hose that is close to original. The markings what is being offered today is also not correct and I will look into what Pacecar Jeff can do with them.

I ordered the heater hose kit from PaceCar Jeff last night for my 69 Z. If y'all need pics I can sure post them when the kit comes in. Let me know.

If it's not too much trouble, a pic of the 5/8 hose would be great. Thank you!

No trouble at all. Lots of info provided on this site has helped me tremendously thru the past 15 or so years.

Hoses came in today, these are the 5/8th hose. The 3/4 is identical. Let me know if you need more.
