    On my 81 I used the hose listed for the 305 from the factory and I think I cut some off but it worked great.

    Thanks everyone for the information. Coat hanger is a great idea. And I can match it againist the hose GMCwantsLS1 mentioned. I have posted a few photos in my album. Should be ready for the cab and sheet metal soon.
