Great info, I keep a Word document full of repair tips and things I have done to my truck. I'll add that Dorman part number 800-205.

I'm surprised that a simple hose clamp can contain that pressure.

That an EFI hose clamp and early TBI only has 12-14psi. I personally would do a temporary repair like this if I needed it running right now, but I would try to swap it over to something better pretty quick. Rubber hose in that area is going to deteriorate pretty fast. You can get a TBI to AN conversion fitting and run braided AN-line for probably $30 all-in.
