Proper shape lower radiator hose for /6 in early A still available?

[64DartGTinAZ]

OK...I've got 2 '64 Darts...both have the same lower radiator hose...one of them just sprung a leak because the fan belt was rubbing on the hose.

That reminded me that there was something goofy I'd noticed on the other one...the lower radiator hose was zip-tied to the fuel line (dumb, I thought, heating up the fuel like that)...but it doesn't have the fan belt abrading the hose.

So, my question is, did they quit making the correct hose, or did two people in two different states both manage to get the same wrong hose?

If anybody can point me at the part number for one that is correct, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,

John

i have never scene a molded hose for one of these slants... any year... ive always had to make due with the flexi hose which suck cuz over time they can really mess stuff up

Gates 20465 is the right one -- as long as you cut it to the right length. as for the fuel line zip tie thing...uck. Do the Fuel line mod.

Does the '68 still have the curved lower radiator hose connection? I thought they went to the straight one by then.....

Looks as if '69 was first year for straight rather than angled lower hose connection.
