Good deal. I always feel like the engine thanks us for new filters!
I don't recall ever seeing a slanted radiator neck. As long as it doesn't leak you're good. The hose is for overflow. Keep in mind, these cars were meant to have radiator fluid (coolant, water, etc) about an inch or inch and a half below the neck. Any more than that and it will overflow when it gets hot after shutting off the engine in the summer.
