I'm glad this topic was posted. I always thought my '71 nylon lines had been replaced by a previous owner. They seem durable but a few abrasion points are occurring. Since they are now over 50 years old, I need to get some fresh ones installed. Thanks all!
JMO - the Gates branded hose is a quality product.
It comes in the standard hose and a premium "Barricade" variant, each for carbureted vehicles.
Both types (plus the fuel injection hose and immersible hose) are available by the foot at RockAuto.
