Is there a good direct fit upper and lower radiator hoses with close to correct bends??
I do not want to use those "Universal" Things. I am using the stock type radiator so the
radiator hose fittings are in the stock location.
Let me know what you have used. Thanks

If the parts store isn't kind enough to let you look take your business elsewhere. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 662 | I just bought hoses for my six-cylinder swap (66 250 in a 52). The friendly neighborhood parts store let me peruse their Gates Buyer's Guide. Sequenced by diameter, it also has sketches and centerline length. They ordered the ones I picked and they worked great. | | |
