Yes the concours assemblyline stamped BB hoses are available however unlike the small block hoses pictured with the wire clamps the 67 390 hoses would have pedestal clamps.The BB hoses didn't transition over to the wire style clamps until later in the 68 production year. Bob

Thanks for the explanation, Bob.

And yes, as mentioned, we only have the type without clamps for the '67 390 as described:

Thanks B&B!

I knew there was a change to the stapled hose in order to speed up assembly, just didn't know when. Is there an 'official' timeframe for the switchover at the different plants or just a rough guess?

Big Block or Small Block ?

I've conceeded tower clamps on small blocks after 66  . I found no credible evidence of any other than one original owner of a 5/68 car claiming "thats the way it always was". Big blocks it appears the changover date was not concise as we see some 12/67 cars with wire clamps and cars as late as 4/68 with tower.
Brant, are you going to carry the C8 small block hoses with wire clamps?

We don't have any yet, but yes, we will have them pretty soon.
