But the car's only 36 years old!

Any ideas on how to replace a hose that's on longer made? Starting with a trip to the local NAPA and hoping the can find something close ...

I usually go to a hydraulic or AC hose shop. They're cheaper and quicker than a trip to the parts house and they're just as reliable. I've never heard of there being one they cannot build. It may not look the same but it will functionally do the job. Give one a try.

Nutz, LOL. Goog find.

McMasterCarr has flexible EPDM hose good for 300 F., I'm going with that, it'll be here tomorrow.

Frank - good tip, thanks. This is a simple piece, I was thinking of how to cobble a more complicated one together with sleeves and elbows and such if necessary.
