Does anyone make or have the clamp that secures the heater hose for the L-69 intake?

 

If you're doing a concours restoration you'll probably have to get those hose clamps from a parts car. If you aren't concerned with originality just get hose clamps from your local auto parts store. Don't waste your money on the hose clamps at Harbor Freight.

 

Try Fusick Automotive.

 

The one I'm looking for secures the heater hose at the manifold near the alternator mount bolt.

 

Got a picture of what it looks like?

 

The diagram in lower center.

 

So it's a guide clip instead of an actual hose clamp.

Pretty sure those were on all 65-67 engines and maybe earlier as my 64 Starfires have them.

 

Here is a clamp I have...came from a '67 Cutlass. Super nice original clamp w/no pitting, etc. Beadblasted clean and professionally re-phosphated to the original finish.

You can PM me if you have questions.

 

Still looking, if someone has one.
Thx.

 

You will have no worries buying the one Patton pictured in Post 8. He's a skilled restorer, his descriptions are accurate, and you will be happy with anything he sells.

 

No doubt I am certain of that, but I missed out on that one.
Thanks,
Dave

 

Still looking if someone has seen one….

 

You can use the 68-72 clamp that works great, Fusick has them and that diagram showing it bolting to the valve cover but it will not. It bolts to a studded bolt in the second position on the intake manifold. The studded bolt is the same as the studded bolt in the first position on the drivers side intake. The one on my car.

 

Thanks, I am sort of looking for original due to the rolled edge and bends it has. But may resort to the later version.

 

Ok,don't blame you @ all but they are hard to find as you well know. I will reiterate my statement about the clamp not bolting to the valve cover. When you do find one and you will see what I'm saying.

 

Went through 3 fiver gallon buckets of parts and found one pictured below
