late '69 heater hoses / clamps

[Dave R.]

I am planning on replacing the heater core in my '69 Corvette and have noticed that there are a few different styles of heater hose and hose clamps for the C3 Corvettes.
When I do this I want to be sure I have the correct hoses and clamps for the car so I don't have to change them later. My car was built in October so I guess it is considered a late '69? Could someone tell me the correct style hose clamps and hoses for my car?

Dave -

Your copy of the '68-'69 Judging Guide should have all the gory detail on the correct configuration of the hoses and clamps.

I can tell you this: my original owner, mid-September, 1969-built car had tower clamps at all heater hose positions EXCEPT those at the heater core. Those at the heater core were side screw, worm-type clamps.
