Crankcase Breather Hose

[Bernie Benz]

Dan,
I "rebuilt" mine 6 mo or so ago, posted it to the list and started another
war with the fat wallet guys, taking the usual heat, but it was a freebe.

Two pieces of rad hose from my junk box, an ell that just fit over the block
port and another ell that hust fit inside the first ell, and cut off the
good part of the old hose just behind the block, which just fit into the 2nd
ell.  Si caulk it all together.  These hoses are fabric reinforced so the
added stiffness prevents collapse, an improvement over the original junk.
Best part is that I reduced the size of my rad and heater hose junk box a
little.

Search the archives, should be there somewhere.
