That Odd PCV Hose...
It comes off the carb spacer, (360), at what appears to be a 3/4" but goes into the PCV as a 1/2"
I'd expect specially molded hoses out of an '89, but a '69?! Someone at Ford saw the future.
So what is anyone doing for replacements? Two sizes of hose with brass fittings to connect them?
Mine is so old that when I rev the engine the hose collapses on itself. You should see all the bypass coming from various places of the engine when I come off the freeway, lol.

Chevy Eater, I just picked up a 71 and it has the smaller PVC sized hose for the long part. Then at the carb spacer end there is a short 2" piece of 3/4" hose that the thinner hose goes into. Could probably have some RTV to help seal it. I've seen this on many an FE so I think it may have been the factory Idea. I hope this helps.
