Default 1969 upper radiator hose

I have a 69 corvette L46 engine with AC and a 4 speed muncie. I have ordered a few different upper radiator hoses and no luck. Any suggestions on part number and where I can get the correct hose. Thx

I did not study part numbers, just glanced over web site.
Looks like Corvette Central around $48.

Try a 77 upper hose. For my 68 I had all kinds of problems finding the right hose so I just started experimenting. If I can find a picture I'll show you what it looks like to see if it might work for you.
Fits like a dream to begin with ....but if I remember right I ended up trimming the thermostat housing end a skosh to make it fantastic.

Here you go: I got it at autozone but I'm sure they can cross-reference for you.

IF you want a picture of how it fits on the car just say so.....

here is the current autozone part numbers for 2 different hoses:

According to NCRS documentation the hose numbers for a 350 are:
Upper 3935466 Aluminum Radiator (4spd w/o AC)
3946852 Copper (Auto or AC)
Lower 3917669 Aluminum (4spd w/o AC)
3946854 Copper (Auto or AC)

The info in brackets comes from another source.

Hello. I have a 69 L46, 4sp but no A/C. It has the larger (26" or 27"?) copper radiator that I believe all the L46's had. Can't remember where I got mine but as HeadsU.P. said CC has them, part # 23177. Mine has Gm # 3946852 on it so you need to look for that or the equivalent of that number. If you have a different size radiator then I suppose you'll need something else.
