I can't seem to find 1.7L intake manifold hoses - when I check fitment for my 1973 1.7L the suppliers give me the red light.
Any links/suggestions? I read an old Pelican posting where Dave said that people had resorted to using clamps on the old hoses (despite potential expansion issues). |

You can use the 2.0 hoses, but you'll need to add hose clamps on both ends of each hose. That's what I had to do on my previous car (a 1.7), and I never had any problems with the hoses or the clamps. |

Thanks, Bill. Is that because the 1.8/2.0 hoses (and runners) are a larger diameter? |
