Hello Everyone.

I just made an awesome "discovery" Radiator hose # E72135CS which sells at my local Pepboys for $16.99 makes a perfect replacement-for TWO hoses!!!!

On my swap (still in progress) the bottom radiator hose matched up with the silvertop, leaving only the top hose to deal with.

Here is my procedure: On the left, the hose has about a 3" run then goes into a 90 degree up angle, then quickly goes into a 45 degree, then another 45 degree-then into a very long run. Measuring from the inside, cut hose about 10.5 inches on the long run. This makes a perfect LEFT piece that connects to the engine.

Take remaining hose, cutoff the sharp 90 degree bend-about 3" worth. Place the hose on the car's metal pipe near the firewall and right hand corner, the hose should go vertical then make a left 90 degree turn. Place the plastic filler neck piece between the two hoses.
