Dave, I have been looking at all my original photos (about 2000) of cars and I have come to the conclusionn you are right about the AC cars having that specific hose.
Paul, Please tell me your secret!!! I can't express ONE point on this forum without someone taking offense and arguing until the cows come home. How come no one seems to challenge your concurring input?

If I send you a dollar will you please stop calling them build sheets? They do say broadcast sheet right at the top. Pleeeeease?
What were they used for Barry and how did you know what I was even referring to? (You might want to recant that statement about facetious posts. If you didn't noticed the MANY that are constantly directed towards me you are probably not paying close enough attention.)

If BCS in question calls for a 257 and we all agree that it looks nothing like the "humped" hose on 99% of the AC cars...
Again, maybe all of these years there has been an incorrect assumption for a hose that was not necessarily correct. What if the A/C hose WAS the correct 257 style (from the factory) in 1969-1970?

How about two hoses ending in "57" hence the BCS code but having a different 4 digit pre-fix number..... I don't have any part number books earlier then 71 so I'm only throwing that idea out there

You may have just added some insight to this scenario. I don’t know what sequence or who installed the hoses but if it was done at the engine assembly plant, they may have installed this hose on A/C equipped cars. The 257 hose could have been the “universal” hose unless the vehicle had the A/C option. Rather that spin off in another of area of speculation, do you (A12) agree that the A/C cars had this different style of “hump” hose from the factory?
Yes I agree most production line or what are assumed original hoses on A/C cars (that I've seen since this thread) do appear to have a "hump" for what would be assumed for additional A/C belt clearance on a big block engine.
I'd love to see engine assembly plant photos to see just exactly what was with the engines when they left the engine assembly plant headed for the car assembly plant. The engines had part numbers (i.e., 899 on the 383 A/C engine for a '69 Super Bee) so I would assume that meant they had the A/C already on the engine as a complete assembly. I haven't looked to see what else is on a broadcast sheet that was already on an engine assembly to ask the question again "WHY"?
