    Yep, those are the ones! I tried reusing them, but I'm sure they weren't meant to last from '85 lol. I think the fuel hose is just too squished from over the years; I'm sure if I had a new pair and fresh hose, it would've worked like a charm.
    unless your original clamps are damaged by someone, those things are stainless, top quality and don't go bad. My jeep wrangler has a few clamps that say w.germany now :D as what they used from the factory (china made painted steel tension clamps) rusted in a matter of a few years. W. Germany is no more as a countrty but those clamps live on

      They are high quality, I put them all back together and have them in storage for the future lol.

      Final Update: Everything is finally back together with the new hose. Finally I can hear my baby purr without the annoying pump* whining; no leaks!
