Does anyone make hoses for the early A-body V8's that are like the originals with the proper bends and angles for a car without A/C. The Gates upper hose they have listed that you have to cut to length just doesn't fit right. It's too straight and will kink slightly to make the offset needed. The lower looks like it might work, but, I haven't compared that one yet. Ideally, I'd like either NOS hoses, reproductions, or something with the same diameter and bends.
 
Post a photo of the hose you are looking for.

I bought a hose for a 67 dart 273 w/o ac
And it was too short and the angles were all wrong, it might have worked on an angled thermostat housing.
 
I bought a set recently for my 66 factory non ac 273 from Rock Auto. Fit great with factory radiator.

Yes, I'm using the stock cast iron thermostat cover, and original radiator for non-A/C. Here's a couple of photos of an NOS genuine Mopar hose.
