This is One Some guys hard having a rough time trying to find top Radiator hoses for there stock Brass and copper radiators.

There is a Fix for it you have to remove your radiator and take it down to the Radiator shop and have them enlarge your neck on the top tank.When that is dose you can run any style Rubber hose.

GM has a hose that will fit that Most of your Old classic car trucks have that 1967-68 327 top radiator hose it will clear the fan should.

Now if most of you have upgraded to the new Edelbrock Alum intake that has the hole for the temp switch Then i need you to buy the alum housing that point straight out.Not the one that goes to the drivers front wheel.

The reason for the use of thermostat housing that points straight it allows you to use the Temp switch on the intake manifold.Plus is looks cleaner.Have a look this works on 1960--72 chevy truck With or with out AC

the last pic is why they had the straight out thermostat house to clear the Oil fill tube for 1960-67 But you can use this housing on the new Edalbrock intakes
