[Shotimes] Heater hose

[James White]

About 10 years ago, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, I blow a heater hose on my SLO
wagon right in front of this hot rod shop.  It was also one of the molded
ones.

The guy, says to go get a burger accross the street while things cool down.

Come back 30 minutes later and this guy comes out with this blue hose.  It
is really flexible and I am amazed that it will bend to a tight 90 without
kinking.

He had the old one off and the new one on and filled the radiator in about 5
minutes.  The coolant had just been drained from a Big Block Nova that they
were rebuilding.

Said that the charge would be $5, but I gave him a $20.

Never saw this type of hose again, but maybe someone like Summit has it?
