Topic: 428CJ - PCV Hose

[1970 Snake]

I would like to put a new hose on my PCV valve to carb spacer plate on my 70 428 CJ which matches my original but I can find any that match my original, as all the present offerings that I have seen come with a short run of hose to the elbow from the carb spacer and also they do not have the Autolite C90E 6A664B part number. Can anyone advise if this hose is reproduced? I have attached 2 pics of my original.

Jack at DeadNutsOn would be the natural suspect but looking at the web site I don't see one listed so its likely not being reproduced with all the needed details

Yes thanks, I had already check a number of sites including DNO and could not find this hose. I have one of the present offerings but would prefer the correct one. I can use mine but it is a little bit hard on the ends and the color has faded a slightly after 50 years. Additionally the present offerings with the short run puts this hose very close to the rear 3/8" vacuum port connection and will be in conflict with that hose which I believe connects to the vacuum tree or the brake booster.

I have taken some pictures regarding what I am talking about with vacuum hose interference using the short length bend, as you can see it runs directly into it and with the short bend it would be much more difficult to route over or under the PCV hose.

I told the vendors that repo that 70 cj only unique pcv hose that the hose they were selling wasn't correct .  Finding an original is very hard and I would use the original over since this is a highly visable part with the autolite c90e stamp and the original tevture of that hose.   I have found another 70 type longer  doaz autolite original hose  that u can use to cut off the cj hose from and I had the stamp made as well but don't remember which engine that hose came from finding them at junkyards and swap meets over the years but it had a doaz # on it and I always wonder why the 70 cj pcv hose has a C90E # and not a D00E #  being a 70 part?

Ed thanks for the excellent response as you have indicated my original factory installed hose is then correct and I will use it over again seeing it is a rare highly visible piece, unfortunately the stamping is on the bottom of the hose when installed.

One thing you could do is hide the splice under the fuel bowl as much as possible.  I do not have an original hose so I will add a piece on to elongate the repro hose.  I understand not the best solution....................
