Marcos Maniacs

Hi Mark,
I'm not sure if the 6 cylinder Volvo used the same hose as the 4
cylinder Volvo but I found a hose at Pep Boys.  I took my old hose
with me (which was made of two pieces with a piece of metal tubing in
the center, (an  attempt by the previous owner to make a hose) and
found a suitable one piece replacement in a couple of minutes.  I
asked the clerk if I could go through their hoses since my car wasn't
listed and he agreed.  It was so easy I didn't bother writting down
the part #.  The new hose fits better than the old hose and it isn't
rotten.
