Bob : Do you have a picture of what you note as a "crimp" clamp ?

They are also shown installed and in use on three original cars in post #26

Plenty "strong" enough especially considering these are vacuum connections something that Ford didn't always clamp

Top picture in post #38. You most likely know this but for those who may be reading ,you have to use a tool to crimp it tight on the hose. The assemblyline ones are smooth like the picture. Many modern ones have a dimple stamped into the crimp area which I am guessing is a improvement to help that area to not distort but is a easy tip off of a non original part. 

Bob : Well, I guess it's just a matter of semantics here. I have always called the one in the top picture a "pinch" clamp, and the one in the bottom picture a "spring" clamp. Am I correct that the one in the bottom picture you are calling a "pinch" clamp ?

Thanks,

Bob

Yes the pinch clamp style is the lower picture in the mentioned post. You can call them what you want no harm no foul but the crimp and pinch terminology for those style clamps have been the typical description used in the Mustang/Shelby restoration hobby for several decades now.
