Upper radiator hose I.D. help
I copied this pic because of the radiator hose, but forgot who's vette this is. I have the same radiator and want to replace my hose with the same one. The vendor catalogs don't show this specific one, or I'm just not seeing it in them. Can some one I.D. this hose and it's part # please?
Thanks, Glenn

I just bought my upper hose at NAPA,
(Which looks exactly like the picture.) minus the GM logo
I ordered a 69BB 427 upper hose.
I will look up the part# tonight.

I looked up the part # in my AIM but the radiator diagram shows a 90 degree bend in the neck the hose attaches to, and my radiator was replaced and looks exactly like the one pictured with the straight downward facing neck, so the original hose wont fit.

The hose is correctly installed except it`s too long. Early Camaros and Chevelles use a similar hose. Local parts houses with a GOOD inventory is your best bet.....
Have them look up the correct application too. They may have the right hose....

I ordered the following from NAPA Auto parts,
for a 69 427/ps.pb.
NAPA# 7689 - Upper hose
NAPA# 7687 - Lower hose
I did trim them to fit, for a very nice fit.
