Re: Upper radiator hose part number for tbi

A lot of hoses, they make em kinda universal, and you're SUPPOSED TO cut em to fit. Lots of em, they provide marks; for this car cut at C, this one cut at E, etc.

What would happen if you cut it?

If i cut it, it wont fit over the t stat housing so im not gonna take that route not losing out on 17 dollars for a hose i would rather return this one and actually get the right one for it

Re: Upper radiator hose part number for tbi

That's the same number I come up with for all searches I've done so far. See if you can find a Gats brand. That's what I'm using now.


Its also listed as #21675

Re: Upper radiator hose part number for tbi

I remember o reileys having both the lower and uppers listed on their site. One is common stock and the other is something they usually only have at their busiest stores. You can try them. I did the search for a 305 TBI
