Lower radiator hose

[doctordodge]

Who makes a quality direct fit lower hose. Car is a ‘67 Hemi GTX. I bought a set of Napa hoses. The top one fit well with a little trimming. Took 3 inches off of the rad end of the lower and it’s closer but still terrible at the housing end. Is there a better fit out there? On a side note. Has anyone rebuilt their own water pump?or had one done. It’s original to the motor and all I see now is aluminum replacements.

I can’t tell from your picture, do you have a stock radiator? I’ve had good luck with Continental, usually get them from Rock Auto.

Oh, and make sure it’s not backwards.

Mega parts or 69bfan Richard can take car of you. Replaced both my upper & lower hoses this summer. Also get new clips as well.

Can't speak for the lower, but I got my upper from O'Reilly's and it was a perfect fit.

Got mine from good old Partsmonkey Doc. Fit perfect, other than I had to transfer over my internal anti collapse spring.

Thanks for the input guys. FBBO is always a great source of information. I would have assumed the NAPA one would have been a good fit. This car has been a challenge sourcing parts from the start. Bought it in May and still haven’t heard it run. And yes, stock 26” radiator.

We produced a ton of them back in the 80's at the Lincoln NE Goodyear plant. Goodyear is now Continental and all of those hoses are made in Mexico.

Continental was a good fit for my 440 also. Nothing else seemed right.
