jtea thanks. Evidently Ideal was absorbed and at that time several special clamps were ended. The one shown looks correct with the Ideal logo but has the addition of a script above. Evidently these are made in China(everything is these days) so unless I can stumble on to a left-over box, these will work fine.
Bob Vidan thanks also. I have my originals and it seems the band is stainless steel but the screw has rusted. Maybe they could be restored. I have done some homework and Ideal supplied GM with the A/C clamps. I found a stash in California at an aftermarket store with the GM part number on the package but they wouldn`t ship. Strange to say the least. Several GM boxed service kits also have the clamp(s) included. Details Details Details.....How many judges would know the difference? They will now I guess with this post.
