Hi i'd like to know if anyone here as put an after market snorkel kit from Parts Place on their car. I got one to put on my 68 442 convertible and the hoses are 22 inches and dont reach air cleaner.

 

I haven't, but I read your previous post discussing this. Have you tried calling them yet? John

 

Hey Mike its Steve who just bought Fob off of you. Yes i did they say it should. I got it through ebay site of the company so no one on the phone can help me because its a different part of company. I was wondering if anyone else had problem with hoses from them.

 

Thought you were someone else.....

 

No problem! If you don't get any response in say 24 hours bring your post back to the top and try again. John

You can contact Mike Siedlik dba THE GOOD OLDS DAYS in Columbus,NE.402-564-8141
www.thegoodoldsdays.com. He has the absolute best hoses available. Tell him Mike Richards sent you. I am the fob guy.LOL. Hope this helps.

Asumming you are refering to the OAI specifically for you 68 the hoses as measured on mine are approx 32" in lenght. This measurement is installed so they could be just a little longer. Regardless, 22" is totally wrong.

 

Racing suppliers, like Pegasus Racing and Behrents Performance carry the hose. Their intention is for ducting cool air to race car brakes, but same stuff.

 

Thanks guys for measuring hoses for me. I have found out that The partsplace Inc ebay site is seperate from catalog or call in orders. I got no where with emailing them so i just got off the phone and was told that my sittuation will be put in front of a manager and they will resolve this. I hope seeing how one hose they sent me measured 22 inches and the other was back ordered when they show they have 5 complete kits for sale....Ill let you guys know how i make out. I have owned 6 Oldsmobiles in the 30 years since i got my license. This site has given me some great info when ive needed it. Its nice to know there are still some good people left in this world.

Thanks Again Steve
