Upper radiator hose Q
Simple but strange question, I have a '72 with the original 350 but the radiator is from a 82 (as many other parts on this car). Will the upper radiator hose for a 82 fit my 72?
The radiator 1972 has a built in 90 degree bend at the upper hose connection, the radiator for 1982 has not, and that's the problem.
I have been having a hard time finding a hose that fits since I've been searching for hoses to fit a 72.
Today I have a crappy standard-hose that fits "all" cars, but it gets too close to the alternator belt.
I suppose that the radiator is in the same position as it should be 1972. But is the motor in the same position both 1972 and 1982?
If that's so then I should be able to order a upper hose for a 1982.
