Hello. Does anyone know if there is a correct lower rad hose available for Fuselage Imperials, might be same issue for C-body. The original hose has an extra bend in it to clear the K frame. The replacement is fine for B-body and maybe other big block cars.
Gates 20958 is all I could come up with, I ordered, I own it. Just checking before I swap out.
Original number is 3462134

In 73, they changed the water pump housing outlet to the passenger side. So anything listed for a 72 or earlier will not fit. A 74 hose would come closer to fitting. Your Gates 20958 should fit, if not try the Gates 20548, which is a 74 hose.
 
I understand the one size fits all hose I have will do, I just Xing fingers I find a better fitting hose like the original. The original hose has an extra bend to clear the Imperial K-frame.
Not likely, but it's a thought.
Thanks for suggestions.
