Is the upper rad hose different for a GS vs a Skylark? The local parts store asked if it had a dual snorkel air cleaner and the listing he came up with was the ribbed type universal fit hose. I really want a molded hose. I see that Year One lists an upper hose that is Skylark only, and not a GS listing, and The Parts Place has only one listing for GS and Skylark. Please help.
my listing is similar ( carquest ) std and optional top hose listings without "dual snorkel" ( probably referring to ram air hoods ? ) . with dual snorkel is a flex listing . checked 455 listing also but got the same kinda answers . its gates stuff so napa etc may be same info . you may have to try dayco or other good brands that may still have stock on some of the older oem type hoses . del
new TA catalog has hoses listed , just looked on website but could not come up with pics ? will check catalog when i get home from work . del

will have to check out the ac #31641 part number at work fri . had an old gates catalog in shop but it did not go back far enough . checked opg - waste of time . checked TA catalog , they list part #TA2056D $25.00 ( 70 skylark 350 ) - but - only one part# listed/no options , so i'm afraid its probably the non-ram air version ? if something does not turn up you may just have to sit down with a hose pic/spec catalog and start figurin it out . del
