Tell us what year and engine so we can see if we need to check ours.

 

pretty sure they are all the same,assuming he has an ss.

 

It is a SS thread and they are all the same.

 

Great.....

 

Perhaps you could cut a piece of the old hose as a collar, to protect the new hose in that area..

 

I would often find molded hoses not available for some new cars and would take the old hose to the parts store and match it up to one that would work and just cut it to size.

It happened on my Moms car once and the guy said he had no hose. I asked to look found a hose asked for something to cut it and showed him he had a hose.

Often many hoses are similar in size and shape just different in length.

Something to keep in mind if you are stuck.

Now there are some hoses that you can't just match too.

 

the rub through was on the inside top of the very lowest hose.there is a plastic tee and it was just below that.a small boss sticking out .I am going to grind it off and put a collar protector on it in that area
