Agreed.
Too bad we can't find those FPR vacuum hoses for the Flex Fuel engines (NOS or aftermarket). Haven't seen any used ones in the salvage yards, either. GM 17113699, discontinued.
I was hoping to pick one of these up as a spare, but then discovered it’s not for the L59, rather the LM7 only.

Yes, the difference -- from what I can tell -- is that the L59 fuel pressure regulator needs a 90° connection on the hose. The non-Flex FPR port points straight up already. I'm sure there's a workaround, to be found when needed.

If I ever score any at the Upull I'll be sure to let you know!

Thank you Steve.
