Otto, A recheck of the upper and lower radiator hoses for your 216 and '41 radiator should be - Lower: 1-1/2" ID both ends Upper: 1-1/4" ID both ends

A litte searching through Stovebolt and the web comes back with the following Gates hose #s:

Upper: Gates 21942 - 1-1/4" ID both ends and formed correctly (a NAPA alternative is 8632)

Lower: Gates 20230 - 1/1/2" ID both ends and formed correctly

Note: Others have reported some minor trimming of length may be necessary

2nd Note: JW beat me to the post button on the dimensions. smile
