Contemporary Parts - Sidepipes and fuel filler hose
Greetings and help!,
I have the '69 Camaro fuel tank setup on this 427 body styled car. The rubber moulded fuel filler hose has split. I can't find a parts house here in the frozen north with decent inventory, and without a part number to provide the clerks, I draw a blank stare. I recall Peter Bayer having advised that this rubber hose was a Ford part from a Mustang. Does anybody happen to have this number handy, or know exactly what car this part had been on. As well, I'm converting from under car exhaust to sidepipes. I have a 289 so will have to fabricate headers. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's aware of Contemporary's former supplier for sidepipes. Hoping for a low grief conversion. Have a great day.....Denis :confused: |

Hi Denis,
You may also want to check Headers by Ed if you decide to build your own. That's what I'm going to do for my E-M. I friend of mine has been using him for years and is very happy with the parts and service. http://www.headersbyed.com/ Good Luck! -Jon |
wt; much obliged. This is welcome information, and will save me much time.
Jon; I was looking for a source for stainless tubing, and none of the racing supply houses I had contacted carried it. Thanks for the reference. Denis |
:(
wt For your info; Tubular Automotive's telephone number is out of service. I'll check the 'net.... |
Try Bill Connolley at Daytona- Upstate Replicas and he will know if they are still in business, or perhaps have what you need. Good luck .

Denis:
For your headers and sidepipes, try Stainless Specialties www.stainless-specialties.com . I do not have any experience with them, but I hear they make a great product. John |
wt,
I've sent Bill an e-mail. I can't believe how difficult it is to get a piece of rubber fuel filler hose in this town. I've been to rad shops, auto parts stores, dealers etc....nothing. John; I'll take a look at the 'stainless' site. Thanks. Brrrrrr. With the wind we're at -30 degrees here. Takes the urgency and anxiety out of fixin' - can't go anywhere anyway. Denis |
Denis,
Tubular has always been a pain to get in touch with. If anyone knows it will be Connelly. Reminder...if you want pipes in stainless, they do sound different than standard pipes, a bit more tinny. HOSES: Also, check w/ Racer Parts Wholesale (1-800-397-7815) for that filler hose. They have a 2 inch flexible hode sold by the foot. part # FSS-CH200 (clear 2 in. filler hose $7.88/foot) JM |
I used Gates Green Stripe 2" from my local NAPA store.. It was a couple bucks a foot. Let it warm up in the house to soften it up before you try to put it on.
