I haven't come to the hose conundrum yet, but I've often gone to the local NAPA, selected a couple of suspicious looking water pump hoses, and then pieced them together with steel exhaust tubing and hose clamps to get the size and shape I need.  If you don't want to do that, I'd get in touch with Barry R, because he uses those Meziere pumps all the time and probably knows the best way to git 'r dun...

somehow I remembered the hose was tight when first installed in 1996 , how I remembered is I'll never know cause I can't even remember what I ate last night ... but I called crites wich is where I got the original hose from and they don't sell them anymore but she gave me the Daaco number , when I called the local parts store he looked the number up and it came back 1 .75 both ends and had one in stock so I ordered ikt and waiting for the new pump .... if the inlet is anywhere close to the Ebrock it should work ... thanks a bunch

One of my better auto parts stores actually had a book with pictures and we ordered a molded hose that was 1 3/4 at both ends. Luckely I'm a compulsive saver and still had the receipt filled. It was a Gates #20957. Not a perfect fit but it's worked fine for 6 years. Inlet on pump is a slightly different angle, need to give the hose a bit of a twist. Mine is on a Mustang.

Used a Gates 22143 for a CSR pump on a Mustang.  I think the outlet location on the CSR is pretty similar to Meziere.  The hose is longer than needed with an extra bend that has to be cut but fits pretty well.
