I'm finding out that an original upper hose is pretty much non-existent, so what hose are you using?
66 Hemi cars; upper radiator hose

Looks like the same dang hose my 440 takes - or very similar?

They're similar to the later b engine with 26" rad top hoses but the 66 thermostat housing points forward and makes the later hoses fit not quite right.
That's probably the only alternative a 67 hose. Saw a guy on ebay advertise a NOS one but no numbers on it for like $300. The 66 P/N is 2658810.

22 inch radiator ?????? me thinks test mule or something and not production hose / car
Noticed that too along with a couple other minor inconsistencies. Notice where the engine ground stop from the firewall goes. It’s from the Peterson Motor Trend photo archives of the early 66 Hemi Dodge convertible released to the press and featured in the magazine road test. Here is another one from it.

Mine came with a replacement with the correct number when I bought the car 5 years ago. It looked new then and still looks new (I also have the original). I don't know where the replacement was aquired from, though.

I'll have to take a look. I'll get back to you in a couple of days after I get the chance.
Huh? That’s what mine is. The radiator connection end seems a bit long as it’s pressed against the fuel line but otherwise seems good. It’s no longer available?
I can only say I ordered one and got crap. Bought a new engine air filter in 1978 got an orange one. Think around 1980 ordered a 2nd got a black one. I'm not up to speed on repo parts do you know if it's real or repo?
Did a search of P/N and ebay had a Gates hose listed out of stock. AR67GTX one you have sure is nice.
I don’t know Fran. If I guessed I would say it was put on the car 15 - 20 years ago and used little since. Did they have a manufacturers date code on them?
edit: I suspect from the clear markings and such, that it’s a repro from some years ago.
