That's exactly the setup on my '64. Had what looked (to me anyway) to be the original rock-hard rubber hose on it when I got it (secured with big spring clamps). I just went to my local mom-and-pop parts house, and bought some 1-inch bulk rubber radiator hose to replace it with. Looks great.

It is a little 1" thing. Was this a flexible tin hose or a solid tube. The air cleaner has the air intake coming off the side, like a figure 6, instead of straight out the middle. Was this an early California thing or an option offered everywhere.....Russ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
