Not an English class, just my old eyes can’t read all those lines crammed together.

Update: As suggested, ordered from amazon some nice silicone vacuum hose to replace the junk rubber stuff.

Hey @moejr, sorry I didn't respond to your earlier questions about where to get them...new job, arm surgery, stuff...

Glad you found just what you needed on Amazon! I think most "turbo places" are selling on there now anyway. I can't remember the fly-by-night turbo shop I got mine from way back in 2010-ish but it's all the same stuff.

What size ID hose did you wind up going with?

Hey Tony, no reason to apologize. When you suggested the silicon hose, I went to the local parts store first but nada. Found the stuff on amazon ($12.99) for 10'
ID is 5mm W/ 3mm wall....good luck with the arm surgery recovery & the new job.
On another note, my first wife was from Dedham, use to be my stomping ground back in the 70's Lol ! Grandpa's 49 traveled many streets in Dedham ..... such a long time ago.

That's awesome! Dedham is a great town, and it's such a small world. They have the Bay State Antique car show this weekend at Endicott Estate, just at the end of my block. I usually putt my truck around quite a bit that day rather than enter it in the show, but no driving the manual steering and crashbox in my current condition. But the '65 Galaxie is fair game

If I paid enough attention to how close you were I would have offered to get some hose and clamps out to you . Have to get my head back in the game.
