Went down to NAPA, my usual parts store, and gave them the 21615 number, to which they replied with a different number as a cross ref. I asked, "Is it a Gates?? He said, yep, their Gate made for NAPA. He brought it out, and it didn't look anything like what my old flex did, or the pic I found of them on rock auto. I took it home and it wasn't even close. I called the local O'rielly's and they said they had one. Took the wrong one back, got the right one, and cut about 5 inches off the radiator end, and it's a done deal. And I don't see a leak. So that's good. Now, I have a new problem. After refilling the radiator with water, driving a few miles and warming it up to check the level, I was going to drain a little, add some cascade to clear out some of the rust build up, then drain, rinse and refill with water and antifreeze. But it seems the petcock's butterfly handle is now no longer connected to the drain it's supposed to open. I'm debating dragging my 110v wire feeder out there and tacking it, or just pulling it and putting on a new one. Any body have any stories on these? (I guess I should just start a new thread for that.) But thanks to everyone for the help, especially to you, AwDang, for the hose number. It worked great. Now to find one to replace the flexible hose at the top.
