164 Hose Available--Once More--'Till . . .? 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Gary Innes on  Fri Nov 12 02:56 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Greetings All!
I want to alert 164 owners about a heater hose that is once again being stocked by dealers, after several years of NLA status--and I know, 'cause I checked everywhere! It's #679476, the S-shaped hose connecting the water-valve to cylinder head. This is strictly a 164 item--no sharing with the 140. It endures quite a bit of strain due to engine movement, and eventually will split along a seam in the center. Borton Volvo quotes $9.28 internet price. Who knows how long they'll be here--better grab one.

I'm curious to know whether they stumbled across some old stock in a Swedish warehouse, or actually commissioned a new production run--in which case I'll be forced to swallow some of the vile slanders I've heaped on the Ford bean-counters in this forum over the years.

Gary in Arizona--with two 164's.
