Where can I find NOS or quality reproduction hoses for my 68 C-code 289 HCS. 3A719 & 3A713 ? Marty

I met those guys at the judges meeting last year,they have beautiful products. But sadly  they do not yet make the ones I need. Mostly big block ones.

I got both my short hoses from them.

Be aware that the blue dot specialties short hoses seem to leak at the flaring/nut end and may require significant torquing. Charles and I experienced this on two different Mustangs.

Otherwise, NOS hoses are all you are going to find (if you can!). Blue dot specialties is considering making the more common ones, but no progress. I guess there is more $$ to be made for the Boss and Shelby crowds, then the common Mustangs...

Did you significantly torque mine? Don't need any leaks.

[gtamustang]

No. I left them loose so that they would leak all over my garage floor!!

No. I left them loose so that they would leak all over my garage floor!! 

Sure would help maintain the rust free finish of any parts left natural   

Your always thinking ahead LOL
