C2 (1966) heater hoses

[Donald H.]

The TIM&JG states that the 5/8" hose has stampimgs ofGM a square and no ribs. The one I got from Parago has what appears to be the correct stampings, but it also has ribs.

does anyone make a no-rib correctly stamped 5/8" hose?

The TIM&JG states that the 3/4" hose has no markings. The one from the Paragon kit has GM stampings that are a dark red to orange color. I can remove them with laquer thinner, but i would like some confirmation if anyone know for sure that there should be no markings.

Thanks,

The ribs just indicates the hose was a supplier other than GM. Different numbers of ribs indicates a specific supplier. GM had many hose suppliers. Ribs w/o GM markings should be just fine.

Thanks Gene. I really didn't want to buy another set since these are new.
