Jack's Comments:

This is a 5/8" hose non-flared water pump bypass tube for all of the Ford 385 series engines.

Concours Restoration Notes:
Ford used a special reinforced hose between the pump and the intake that is no longer available. Most customers use the standard Marti Autoworks 5/8" ribbed heater hose and the 1 1/16" Wittek tower clamps to secure the hose.

Install tip from a customer:
I ended up using a bolt with a washer to smack to smack it in. If the tube end gets a little bent inward you can round it out again by pushing and turning closed needle nosed pliers into the tube. Also use some type of sealant just to make sure it seals. ~Dylan
