70 440 ENGINE DETAIL ???????

Should the PCV hose and booster hose be dated prior to engine assembly or was it prior to car's SPD or other??

Thanks Ron

They were installed, I would ASSuME, AFTER engine assembly but BEFORE installed in the car so I would ASSuME somewhere in between or just before the engine depending on how long the roll was they were cut from ???

Thanks John, I was thinking that since the engine didn't know which car it was going in when assembled and in reality dates on those hoses don't really matter I just like the pretty yellow printing!!
Ron

I tend to think hoses were installed sometime after engine assy but before said engine was installed in the chassis.
WHEN that was or how much of a lag time between the 2 ?

The few originals I've had to libery to view, the hose had orange paint on them . Tellling me they were done immediately after the engine was painted

That's good info. Bill, that tells me to have them dated between casting date and a assembly date.
Probably closer to casting date since they were probably on a reel and rolled out and cut when needed.
