Best Upper Radiator Hose? Stock 305 TPI

Could I get a part number for the best fitting upper radiator hose for a stock 305 TPI. I don't know if its just me but all of the file photos I see online don't look quite right. Even the hose in my car now doesn't sit quite right in its little support up near the radiator.

Thanks!

Most radiator hoses are cut to fit style. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too different than what came with the car to just buy one at your local auto parts store.

I replaced the upper rad hose on mine (old one started separating) and I just made sure the replacement had the correct bends. Then I cut the length to be really close. Fits great.
