I'll shortly be ordering 'another' hose from Bruce.
1st one - Son's 80K 91 V8q - babied and garaged all its life
2nd one - 92 V8q, 190+K miles
3rd one - 90 V8q, tornado red - owned since 75K
All failed at exactly the same place - 1.5" back from the passenger side
head connection, cracked internally, then burst.
I highly recommend you consider replacement, so you don't blow one on
the turnpike and have to limp it 12 miles at 115C to the nearest gas
station...
