Correct heater hoses...'66 Corvette

[Michael G.]

If I understand the 1966 judging manual correctly one heater hose, believe it to the 5/8", has lettering on it. The other hose is ribbed with no lettering at all. Now....if this is the case why can I not find a vendor with this style kit. The only kits I've been able to source has both hoses with lettering. One hose has white lettering....the other red.

Lacquer thinner will quickly remove the lettering.

Jeff,

You're way too smart for me . Why didn't I think of that. Most likely.....that's why you get paid the big $$$!

I just did this on Saturday.
"Oops" paint remover does an excellent job. I then washed the hoses with Simple Green (usual 10% mix) and they look great.

C3 heater hoses have none of that lettering (Well except maybe for some early 1968s, but they don't count as C3s ) yet I continually have to make deductions for the GM [] ink stamps. Most folks just assUme what they buy form the vendors is correct. I always hear; "Well I bought it from XYZ vendor."
