WHAT HOSE/TUBING TO USE FOR 77 FI SUPER Oil Filler to "S"

Post by eric77super »

I'm puttin all new hoses on my stock 77 SB FI.

Coming off the base of the oil filler neck is an approx 19 to 22 mm nipple and the Prev. Owner has this godawful hose (heavily pinched between the intake runners and alternator) and it bends again with a 90 degree bend over to the "S" Boot. This cant be. What type of hose or premolded tubing really goes there and how do you route it so it doesn,t look all pinched and contorted and otherwise would pass the crankcase gases into the intake I was thinking about fabbing and bending a thin-walled aluminum tube. Anybody ever run into this or have a link to THE PART

Thanks from Eric

Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Between buying that hose and maybe fabbling a little aluminum tube and silicone hose sleeve I might have this problem solved
