Re: hose end covers

They are measured in sixteenths and you reduce that down to fractions. Example: AN4 is 4 16ths or 1/4, AN6 is 6 16ths or 3/8 . I think the AN stands for Army Navy. Military designation.

Re: hose end covers

I guess I should have stayed awake in math class. what size would fit upper radiator hose and heater hoses?

Well upper hoses are 1 1/2" or AN24. Large heater hose 3/4" or AN12, and small heater hose 5/8" or AN10
