Got a mustang EFI intake hose that I would like to try on my EFI project. The hose clamps that were on the car were broken. I would like to get a new set. The clamps are a little different than regular hose clamps as they have two slots punched out of them to align them on the hose.
Where can I find some new clamps that work with the mustang intake hose? My local parts store was no help and said they would need a part number.

The giant hose clamp that holds the intake tube on the throttle body or mass air. Yea, I know the clamps you are talking about. Local hardware store will likely have the giant hose clamps, but not with slots.

The slots that align with the tabs are assambly aids for the factory workers. Clamps come pre-attached to the intake and faster to install on the assambly line. That makes them a Ford only part.

But there are ways around that. The generic big hose clamp from a hardware store will work. Either cut the tab off the intake (my choice) or cut a slot into the clamp (not my choice).

Agreed^^
I just cut the rubber tabs off the hoses and used large generic hose clamps.

Shuffled through the local junk yards and called the local ford dealer. Stuck out on both sources. I would really like to get a new set of factory hose clamps. Anyone have any leads on these clamps.
