Does anyone know what catalog companies sell the correct by-pass rubber hose? I am having no luck calling around. Also does anyone know the spec on the od and id that I can use to get one from an auto part store?thanks for your help.

You have a part number available to compare against a 63-67?

It is just a sort piece of heater hose, if you are talking about the hose from the expansion tank to the water pump. Pretty sure it is 5/8 hose.

HI Dino, The hose that you are talking about is 10 inches long and 3/4 inch ID. Corvette Central shows this hose on page 38 of there most recent catalog. Part #241305. This hose will have a stripe of ribs running along the length of the hose. Zip has this hose in there Catalog also page 69, part #M-2576. One of these guys should be able to help you out.
