66 Dart 273 Radiator Hoses
Having trouble getting the right radiator hoses for my 66 Dart with original 273 auto, non-PS, non-AC, original straight thermostat housing. My local NAPA (who are usually pretty good) failed to even come up with anything that would fit - their book came up with hoses that fit the smaller slant six radiator inlet. They eyeballed a couple of hoses that sort of fit but had to be kinked so much to that it nearly chokes off when warm - same problem with the upper and lower hoses.
I've already seen these threads:
Radiator Hose Help
Help finding lower radiator hose
...but not sure if it's the same. Can anyone advise how and where I can get reasonable molded hoses?
(Yes, the fuel line is crazy, just a temp line for testing, long gone now but this is the best pic I have handy of the screwy radiator hose bend.)
