PCV hose on 455

[wayne nesbitt]

My PCV hose seems to be just a piece of PCV hose rather than a moulded hose.
It is flattening out on the bend from the crankcase vent valve so much that
it may soon be restricting.
I ran the GM number. They say they don't have a listing.

Before I put on a new piece of regular PCV hose has anyone found a new
supply for the moulded variety?
TIA

Wayne - you may be able to just look over the hoses at an auto parts
store and find one that you can cut a piece out of that will match
the size you need. If you don't find a molded hose with a bend in it
you could also take a length of spring and put it into the hose. It
will keep the hose from crimping where it bends.
