Correct upper radiator hose for 71 GTX 440

[Halpinfarm]

Anyone have the part number for the proper upper radiator hose for a 71 GTX 440 with a 26 inch radiator. The old one I had was an old Chevy lower that I cut the end off. The new one from Rockauto curves the wrong way on one end

Could the hose you have possibly be for a stock rad? I don’t know if your rad has the inlet and outlet fittings in the same place as the original?

I’m just replacing my stock radiator , water pump , timing chain etc. the hoses are in the same place and same size as the stock radiator. I think it came with a 24 inch from the factory. The old one and new one are both 26 wide

No 24 inch Radiator could have been a 22... You can buy hoses at lots of places. Here is a link to Mancini.

The Dayco 70352 seems to be made wrong or listed wrong for this application. Your aftermarket radiator hose inlet looks close to the stock radiator location. The Continental 60664 fits this application. The 60664 has an upkick bend over the alternator area. The Gates 20630 also fits and is routed more directly to the thermostat housing.

The following images show the Continental 60664 and the Gates 20630 on the same engine.

Other brands' interchange numbers should be the same, but some might not be correct, as in the case of the Dayco hose. These specific brands and hoses I have used on this car. I generally prefer Goodyear or Mopar, in the past, but now I usually choose Continental. Continental purchased Goodyear's automotive hose and belt division, which was the vendor for the Mopar branded replacement hoses.
