BB Water Pump Bypass Hose Markings

[Floyd B.]

I have a '69 L36 and was wondering if the water pump bypass hose (part # 3860302) has any markings on it such as part number, logo or strip.

Floyd, I'm going to preface this by saying I'm not sure if I have an original or not, but the one on my engine has (I think) 4 ribs on the underside. You can't see them so the only way to tell is to feel for them. No other markings or stamps. The TIM&JG doesn't have any info on the hose itself (only the clamps), so it's of no help.

I tried to take a picture but this is the best I could get out of it! (Ignore the worm clamps, they're wrong)

If this car is a 1969, the hose clamps are not original. That probably means the hose is not original, either.

Ed,

Thanx for taking the time to provide the picture - all information helps. Hopefully others will chim in.

Joe, yes I knew the clamps weren't correct (see my original post), but there's a chance (albeit slim) that the hose is. There's still a bit of orange overspray on it that someone in the past has tried to clean off. By cleaning it off though, they may have removed any ink stamps that might have been there. Sometimes cleaning isn't the best thing to do!!
