Default upper radiator hose pace car

Does any one know where to buy the upper radiator hose for a 1980 turbo pace car.

Looking for a hose that has the (somewhat) original markings

Looks cool when you pop the hood

As Always Thank You

Rock Auto lists a Gates and an AC Delco hose, do these look correct?

There’s a guy in Miami that does the correct markings, I just bought a set, they are sweet.
Even a GM replacement will not have the factory markings, I had a stencil made for the 400 hose, scanned off a GM hose, but it’s. It factory.

I do not have his contact info, a friend down there had them made and sent them
You gotta do some detective work sometimes on parts.

So we can post about stupid chit and about 40 year old filters, but can't seem to come up with the pertinent info requested here?

I'm sure there wasn't enough money involved to inconvenience him.

When you take your sally Field Dress off, look on EBay.
Like I said. I dont have the info. Instead of posting batteries for a Sunbird, look for the hose.
I SAID the guys on eBay, maybe retire your flip phone.
