Here is a diagram of what your car should have with the check valve in the can.

Last time I needed one of these hoses I ended up finding a double white striped hose of equal length or greater and recolored (with a Sharpie) one of the stripes to green. Realize that this might not be an option for some of you but sharing the possibility

Here is a diagram of what your car should have with the check valve in the can.

Just as a reminder and for newer members that diagram can be found in the Library in the 67 section labeled

- 67 Tilt-Away Steering Column Vacuum and Electrical Components

Jeff, I do see that as an acceptable way to go about it my concern was more about the correctness of the colors-white and green on both hoses- as being what to shoot for.

Just to add a little "twist" in regard to the hoses, I have attached a picture of the hoses that were on the setup that I purchased back in the mid-eighties. unfortunately, I wasn't wise enough back then to get all of the details concerning the car it came from - just that it was on a '67 Mustang. I personally have not seen any other hoses quite like these.

Ignore the creative build your own heater hose atttempt but here is a fairly early 67 San Jose shot to add to the collection

If the purple hose is still in reasonably good condition I would just switch ends so the purple stripe shows.

Purple is hardest as like Marty pointed out the end that is in engine bay takes a beating

This is the best I could come up with in the end,,,
I might keep my eyes peeled for an original but seriously what's the odds of one of those being any good.

Resurrecting this thread from last year, since part of it focuses on the topic of the '67 heater water control valve.  My AC coupe's original piece (C7ZA-18C310-A) still holds vacuum and the valve functions OK, opening and closing hot water flow to the heater core.  But...  the valve now leaks a steady drip of coolant from the weep hole on the bottom of the diaphragm chamber.  This may have come up before but haven't located if it's here somewhere:  is there a service shop that offers a rebuild of this valve?

I'm also posting a WTB in the wanted ads, for anyone who wants to sell an original 67 water control valve.

Thanks,

Don't know anyone that professionally rebuilds these units. The uncrippling and recripping of the vacuum pod would likely not look acceptable when  done

Marty (or anyone else), do you know of a source for this clip/retainer? I've checked AMK and other soureces and can't seem to find it.

Many Ford products uses this item & can be found in Salvage yards or donor cars. A person could make one too out of tin and the plastic-coat products out there but you would need original specs to do that.  Mine is not handy enough to measure but there are some guys who may have one handy. Hopefully, somebody else can chime in on it.

I found a similar clip in my junk box. I believe the part number is 358362-S, as shown in the 67 Electrical Assembly Manual, AM0018 pg 76, and is used on A/C equipped Mustangs (all engines) from 67 thru 70, but I have found no supporting documentation, drawings or specs. If someone can measure the "grip" and overall length that would make identification easier. Pictures later. I have some appointments this morning first.

+1  In many cases the metal strap will need to be restored and recoated if you find one. For Dearborn applications in the 69+ years it can often ben caught up in some of the firewall coating /sealing pattern

Two  pictures of what I have. The area where the hole is has been twisted, probably in removal. There is a small step as shown in the above installed drawing. The mounting hole diameter is 5/16 inch dia, the steel is 0.050 inch thick. Other measurements are as shown in the pictures. The installation in the referenced manual shows a screw, 42067-S8 (10-12X1/2hex) and washer, 44711-S8 (9flw, 0.198-0.208 in dia) are used. That combination indicates a compensation for the 5/16 inch dia mounting hole.

In order to help direct this thread back to more of its original Topic (67-68 Select-Aire Vacuum Hoses, Routing, Markings & Connections), I offer the following attachments for your information. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer sources for the striped hoses.
