Scott, shame you can't get the EB fuel line made up. There is a huge hole in the market for that area.

My car used KV lines so I'm not compromising by using them. I am however looking into getting the EB lines made, makes sense, a lot of cars used them (most 1969's and back in fact).

FAyI, my 69 340 did not have a KV hose to the fuel pump.
Was it EB fuel hose? Most 69 and prior Mopars used EB vendor and not KV
It is marked EB

My original KV hose has very nice crisp looking letters. All the repro stuff I've seen has larger, more sloppy looking letters. I don't think you'll be happy with it Scott.
In addition to the poor print quality the ink smears off while youre trying to push the hose onto the fitting.
DAMHIK!

Scott,
Remember our 69 GTX vert that has a SPO date of 10/3/68 had the EB fuel lines up front and the KV in the back too. Seems that they were using it in late 68 also.

Found these fuel filter shorties some time back at a Mopar Parts Supplier inventory where they had sat since the 70's.
Are you completly sure about that? I'm having issues trying to enlarge the photo and remain clear but the lettering does not seem to match that of samples I've seen from early 70's production.

Well they were close enough for Dave from ECS as they are shown here on his site. http://www.ecsautomotive.com/productdesc.php?co=c&id=60
Dave purchased them from me several years ago.
Here's a picture of one of some singles I have left.

I'll chalk it up to a blurry image on the first photo, but certainly the last photo looks legit

so what would be better a repo that you can read, or a unreadable original. I had the ends of the pressure line re plated.
If you are shooting for O.E. correct, the faded original would be "more correct" (IMO, results may vary depending on the judging body), also, you could lose points for pitting or a non original plating color etc. that is evident on your original parts, but I'd still lean towards that scenario as opposed to a reproduction.

Our 69 GTX still has its original power steering pressure line and the rubber is in great shape. The stamped lettering on it is very faded and almost not able to be read. The gold cad metal ends on it still has some of the plating left but we are going to send it out to have it replated since the plating is almost totally gone on one end and very little left on the other end. I, too, would love to find a way to get the yellow lettering back onto the rubber part of the hose though.

Bill, Restoration Specialties in In Windber PA?
Yes, they bought out / took over all aspects of QQE
another one you may try is
http://www.deadnutson.com/page/page/2526992.htm
He is not just mustang stuff.
As an FYI, He supplies Frank Badalson / Roger Gibson with his hose
That Dead Nuts guy makes some incredible pieces. He's not afraid to charge for them either.
Brake Booster Hose writeup from his site 
The Story Behind the Hose
After discovering Marti Autoworks and other Mustang parts supplier didn't make this hose I checked with Ed Meyer. Ed told me the Mopar guys did a poor reproduction of this hose but it was all that was available. I ordered one for my car anyway then compared it to some of my originals. The reproductions ink color was wrong, the font type was way off, the date code wasn’t smaller than the rest of the type and the printing method was modern. I then decided to reproduce the hose to my standards. After a year of work I’m finally happy with the results. The yellow ink color was custom mixed to get it just right. Each letter needed to be custom made to match originals since the font they used on the originals is not available. The date codes are a smaller size so they also had to be made one letter at time. Modern rubber hose printing equipment failed to get the right look so I custom made a hose printer and process that replicated the manufactures original process. I ended up with brake booster hose that looks Dead Nuts On to me.
