Hey gang, need some help. 84 stock vette. Rubber engine oil cooler hose is shot. Discontinued item. O'Reilly's says they have it, 500 psi rated hose. Do I need that high a rating for an oil line? Seems odd 2 me. Also, only see 1 acorn nut each side of hose. Does this line take that special fitting thingy like a.c.?
Tnx
 
250 psi is usual rating
Some have replaced both lines with braided s/s lines all the way from cooler to block
in which case you would only need a AN to NPT? fitting each end
 
You might have them redone by taking the entire hose to a local A/C hose shop, who probably also does hydraulic hoses. Probably a LOT cheaper than going the AN route.
 
thanks guys, i appreciate it. wanna get my baby on the road
