In addition, although the hose looked good in the picture, it was like hard plastic around the heater core nipple and was very hard to get off.

The gear clamp has a 1/4" drive and is labeled Murray Silver Seal, Townson, MD.

Now you can sleep better tonite knowing that it won't be spewing green fluid on your nice Camel Tan carpet.....

My memory was a bit rusty on the hose clamp specs....but yours are definatey OE.....

Same ones came on the water pump and cylinder head ends....

Rad hoses still used tower clamps,as I recall.

It helps to have a 2nd party guiding the heater core pipes through the holes in the cowl....while you wrestle with it under the dash
