im having trouble locating an upper & lower rad hose that will fit!?!?!?!?
there was a crapppy flex hose on when i first bought it... ugggg buut now we are soooooo close to firing her up!!! BUT can't seem to get a upper & lower hose that fits!!!
does anyone know a part number i can get hoses from!?!?!?! i was told "GATES" hoses are prob the most common. i have a 440 (non a/c car).... and soooo far stock hoses won't match up?!?!?!? WTF!!!! lol
thanks guys!!!

Does your car have the proper radiator and water pump? That could be causing you the problems.

  Do you have a picture of the engine compartment? The radiator from a later car could have upper and lower opening on the opposite side's. The water pump housing from a later model engine has the lower opening on the passenger side.
Still looking for 15x7 Appliance slotted mags.....

top one looks normal 440 26" radiator  :yesnod:  like Squeakefinder  said  could be water pump housing is incorrect & radiator

I used Goodyear hoses....

Lower hose - #60659 (is the same for both 22" & 26" radiators)
Upper hose - #60664 (should be the same if your 22" radiator has inlet on far passenger side)

Anyway, those are what I used....most any good part store should either be able to cross te numbers or get those hoses

Funny way to mount the alternator!  You have any problems with the belt jumping off? :smilielol:

Yes.  I thought you were going to try and get it to be like a corvair engine that the belt does a compound turn. :nana:
