Since my previous question about hose clamps (expansion tank to radiator) met with such overwhelming response (1), I'm trying additional hose clamp questions. All regarding Wittek:
1) on the 3/4" heater hose, the new 70-72 JG says clamps should be 1 3/16 with DMC. I know the DMC is a typo (should be DCM) but what about the size? I have searched the Internet for listings 1 3/16 clamps with DCM to no avail. I have found DCM with 1 1/4" clamps. Should the 3/4" hose be 1 1/4" or 1 3/16" clamps?
2) on a big block air cleaner to valve cover hose, 1 1/2" clamps are used. I just looked at a 72 that had never been apart. Correct tired old hose with alligator-skin texture and original markings on the inside of the curved portion of the hose. One of the correct original clamps is dated 3/69 (not surprising) but the other one has identical stamping except instead of the date, has DCM. The question,finally, is what does the DCM signify?
