Intake hose for heater core
Just replaced the heater core in my '87 Formula 350. Had to cut off the shorter of the two hoses(I think it's the intake hose 3/4in.). Does anyone know where I can get an OEM replacement? I've looked online and having trouble finding one. I bought a piece of hose from napa but it's not hard rubber like the one that came off and flattens out at the 90 degree bend.
Thanks
Thanks

25 years ago the OEM one wasn't hard rubber either.

Lets put it this way, the one i took off which was a factory hose and appeared to be "formed", is a lot firmer than the hose I bought from Napa.
Very disappointing reply from you, especially being a Moderator. Your post was absolutely no help!!
You didn't even answer my basic question of "Does anyone know where I can get an OEM replacement?" And you are a Moderator? wow!!!

When you've been around longer, you'll understand better what a moderator is and does.
So what's wrong with the hose from Napa, it doesn't have a bend in it?
