Bob, I would think that if the non meshed hose worked fine it should
do because it's obviosly not a pressurized system *. If it can save
you some bread. *If it's not a large diffrence in price, then go with
the better stuff.
The wire reinforced hose keeps it rigid so that it wont sag and possibly
present a hot spot problem. Long straight runs generally require the
wire reinforced hose.


Yeah, I forgot about the long runs. *So, I'd say you're probably
right. But then again. I wonder which design of hose was origional
equipment and which was the replacement?


Which looks older?


I jsut went out to the barn to look at rthe engine from my old Chris
craft and the rubber hoses were sill attached to the manifolds. They
are a very thick rubber hose which reminds me of hydrolic hose. The
type with the rib ply's on the outside. or you might say like a tire
turned insid out. There is no steel mesh or evidence of a spring
inside.

And they were origional from 1964.
