Looking for correct replacement radiator hoses 1975 318ci Fury

[JWKetron]

Good day,

Working to replace the original mopar radiator hoses on my low milage no A/C 318ci motor. I ordered gates replacements and they are molded differently than the originals. Anyone know a good source for correct molded hoses? I don't really like the gates. Pictures attached of the current original hoses on the engine and the gates replacements I currently have.

Thanks for the help,

Jon

You could try Mega Parts - they may have something better suited for you.

What numbers are on the old hoses? You can look for OEM original. The Gates should still fit and will work just fine. If they fit use them.

Thank you both for the replies. I checked Mega Parts, they sadly stock E body parts mostly. The number on the top hose is 3462166. I have looked around, according to the gates website it is a direct OEM replacement. I will try both hoses and see fitment on the engine.

Used Gates replacements on the coolant hoses and they fit great. Had to shorten both the bypass and lower radiator hoses. Fitment works well afterward.
