I can't guarantee that the Vette's heater hoses are original but they satisfy the NCRS purists. The 3/4 hose is a dead match but the 5/8 hose is very slightly different than the Chevelle hose and varies slightly from the NCRS judging guide specs in the spacing. Splitting hairs here. - Bill W
Bill, thank you for your reply. I have seen original 5/8 hoses with no ribs that have the GM block stampings on them or have seen ribbed 5/8 hoses with no GM block markings on them. It seems like no one offers a smooth ribbed 5/8 hose that is close to original. The markings what is being offered today is also not correct and I will look into what Pacecar Jeff can do with them.
