1964 Full-Size Pontiac Radiator Hose

[Larry]

A few days ago one of our members asked if we knew where there was available the formed upper radiator hose for his 389 '64 Bonneville. He had exhausted all his local options with only flexible hoses available.

While flex hoses will work, they certainly aren't factory correct if that is your restoration goal. We suggested one of our advertisers, Ames Performance Engineering (look to the right for their ad).

A few years ago, Ames began to increase their inventory of full-size Pontiac parts. Having been very successful over the years with GTO items, this was a wise choice for expansion as the bigger Pontiacs were really beginning to grow in popularity for full and show restorations. Well, like the great company that Ames is, they pulled through with the needed upper radiator hose.

For those looking for the same formed hose, the Ames part number is PP253. Our member reported that the lower formed hose is readily avaliable from a number of sources, but Ames has it also. Best part, they are right in stock for immediate shipment. Don't forget Ames for all of your full-size Pontiac needs. Even if they don't happen to have what you need, customer requests is often how they determine what the hobby needs, and if they should look into locating or reproducing.

If you have any special needs and want some help locating, just give us a yell and we'll try to help. But don't forget to also check with our great advertisers, many who are also listed n our "AFFILAITES" "Member Discounts" too.
