Default Upper radiator hose.........

I've got a griffin radiator I've installed in my '76 and I don't remember the number of the radiator hose I need to hook it up ! Someone gave a part number from Autozone of a hose that works with the universal griffin radiator.............. Can anyone tell me what that number is ???

Thanx, Rick

Default Upper radiator hose...

Not being sure about what you have, here's the hose that worked wonderfully for me when I put a generic radiator in my 68.

I used the upper radiator hose from a 77 corvette.
I think I got it from Autozone and the part number was L-238....
Just came back to correct this. The upper radiator hose I bought was XL-060 (must be obsolete by now). Another number on the hose label is 60867-- Per RockAuto this cross-references to:
CONTINENTAL 60867 Molded
Category: Radiator Hose
For a 1977 to 1978 Corvette....

Thanx for the reply.............. the L-238 number you mention is the lower hose. I just installed it today ! I looked at the pix of your vette and found the pic of the upper hose......... it looks like part # 090. I'll check with autozone tommorrow and get the one for the '77 vette.


By the way........................ that's an awesome '68 you've got....... incredible build !!!

Thanx again ! Rick
