Dale's Cuda Shop wire hose clamps not the correct size? - 1967 Dart 273

I haven't had a drop using the spring clamps (16lb cap) as described above

Sorry for the confusion when I said two clamps I meant that there was one at each end of the hose for a total of two of the smaller (1.5") clamps that came in the DCS kit.

everything held except the upper radiator hose sprayed out past the hose clamp right where the two ends pass each other.

Did you use all 4 clamps in one kit or did you buy a second kit and use the smaller (1.5") two from both kits?

The DCS kit comes with 2 x 1.5" and 2 x 1.75" springs. The 1.75 springs are too big. (I had the same situation when I first started, I used the larger ones on the upper hose as it would be easier to change if they did not hold and neither did. bought another kit and used the 2 x 1.5" on the upper hose and the 1-1/8 bought from McMasterCarr for the return.)
