the BACK STORY:
GM never sold an EMISSION HOSE KIT or anything remotely like it. GM invented the Corvette, but you had to buy a Corvette to get these hoses. The EMISSION HOSE KIT is a marketing concept I developed and researched to determine what hoses, sizes, lengths & fittings were required for the various different Corvette models. We used actual GM Blueprints supplied by the former GM Director of Warehousing & Distribution, Mr. Ken May (now retired). I also authored the various labels with a schematic illustration & the advertising copy describing the contents.
What did David Walker & zip do? That lazy SOB merely copied our kits, the contents & even our advertising copy. Now he has his lap dog (look up the definition) Justin Abbott blather how they independently developed this idea. What a crock of hooey. They are so full of it, they would need a laxative to come up with an original idea.
Take a good look at the Plain Bag of Hoses they distribute. It has a mailing address type 1/2" x 3" label stuck that is stuck on the outside of the plastic bag with their part number & the name of the kit. Good luck figuring out the contents. The jokes is on you as they laugh all the way to the bank.
When you purchase elsewhere & see that nondescript bag with an address label - you just got the krap distributed to other vendors by zip. They don't even affix their vaunted zip products logo, or name on it. I'd be ashamed to offer such slop also. CAVEAT EMPTOR !
