I did a junk yard disc swap from a '71 malibu wagon onto my '66 Skylark. The attached pic is of the hose bracket from the malibu and the new hose. As you can hopefully see, the hose end is too small for the hole in the bracket. I got the hoses from rockauto for a '71 malibu and they checked today and said they are correct. What should I do? a. return hoses and get them from somewhere else b. modify old skylark brackets to fit these hoses Also, the malibu brackets do not fit the holes in the frame of my skylark. Do I have to drill new holes? If anyone has done this swap to a mid sixties a-body I could use some help. Thanks
George N. has a good article on this swap @ the BPG website. Check it out, believe he mentions the brackets too. www.buickperformance.com
