Screwed up! I just checked my survivor list and yes, Skip's 69Z has the ribber hose so I was wrong! Is it normal to see both types on a 69 or only ribbed and what about 68's?

My 06A Z28 still retains the original hose it’s ribbed and has a woven type look , I have owned the car since 1974 BTW

Mike do you know if the current GM hose has the woven back?

I don’t think it’s no where near as pronounced as my original, I have a new GM hose at shop , I am going there tomorrow and will take a picture and post it.

Pretty sure it has no ribs either.

Mike, I have an older NOS GM hose in the garage and NO, it does not have the woven look like your original. Skip's has the same similar look on his survivor. I do not remember this for 68's but apparently missed something. LOL

Thank You Chick, You are 100 % correct, I looked at the 1 at shop, it’s probably 10 years old, it’s not even close and has no ribs.

Steve had posted some excellent info concerning dated cars on a CRG thread:

Chick here's another 68 datapoint. The 68 time capsule I owned had what appears to be a non-ribbed hose and original assembly line 736C PCV. I'll see if I have any better pics. The hose skin is not as woven/alligatored as the ribbed. The clamp has the radiused end.....
