Re: IML: RESPONSES Fan concerns Pt 2, my '66 Coupe

[David Whitney <hazegreen66@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just went through the same experience with NAPA.  I use these guys all the time, so I trust them.  The replacement hoses I bought for my 383 had no interior coils, and the counter guy assured me that the new hoses do not collapse and that the only thing I'll get from having a coil is inevitable rust.  Since collapsing hoses is what I was trying to cure and I have had no trouble since, I think NAPA is correct on that count.

 

Happy motoring,
