1966 crankcase vent hose with ribs?

[John M.]

According to the NCRS Judging guide the crankcase to air cleaner hose on a 350 HP 327 should be ribbed with GM markings. I have been unable to locate one of the ribbed hoses although hoses with no ribs
BUT having the GM markings seem to be available from almost every vendor. Anyone have a source for the ribbed hose or any advice about where one may possibly be found. Thanks in advance for any help.

It has been my observations, that original breather hoses were either smooth with GM marking or ribbed without GM marking. Hope this helps,

The original hose on my 65 is ribbed without the GM marking.

I had the same problem for my 66 SB, so I called David Sokolowski 310-329-5334, who has the ribbed hoses, with GM ink stamped, advertised in our DriveLine. Happy Hunting....Chet

Dr. Rebuild used to have that hose or one quite similar to it.

Placed a call to David Sokolowski and left a message. Will post the results when he calls. Thanks for the advice. As far as Dr. Rebuild I could not get past his web site. When a vendor begins by telling a customer all of the things they CAN'T do it is probably best for me to find another source than get involved. Wish he put forth a better business attitude, he seemed to have some items that might be needed.

David returned my call this morning and the ribbed hose was in his stock of parts. Very easy to deal with and very informative. Couldn't be any more pleased with our transaction. He knew what he had available and how much he wanted for it. Chester Kumm, Thanks for the advice to make this call.
