Jack's Comments:
We have exactly reproduced this special orange neoprene hose that was used on all 428 CJ, 428 SCJ's starting around February 17th 1969 until the end of 1969 production. We believe the correct length to be 10 3/4" to 10 7/8" long. The take-off Ed Meyer provided me with to reproduce this hose was 10 3/4". We've also see this same length in a NOS shaker we recently took pictures of.
This hose is unique because it can hold up to the extreme heat and not kink when hot. There is a hose similar to this one available from some specialty parts stores but they are half the wall thickness of this hose and the orange color is way too dark. Ed Meyer and myself consider this hose a perfect reproduction of the original.
