Thanks guys, I like Tim's idea of using a one inch smaller hose inside a larger one. I found several that matched the water pump but was a little to large for the radiator. Using the smaller hose should work. Fyi, my 235ci is from a 62 and I'm sure I bought a water pump close to that year.
I'll also check on the flex hose as well. Thanks for the help. I can always depend on you guys when I get stuck.
