VAROOOMBAAAA!!!!
Mike,
Hose info to help you out.
I dug this off of page 3 of my "oops I'm doing it again post" regarding hoses. Looks like I made two out of one for about $8....probably $16 now...!!!! Still needed a second unique but easy to find hose as well. Read on...
"Found a Gates / ECR #22185 (O'Reilly or Rock Auto) hose of the proper 1-3/8" diameter to make the "Y-Pipe to the under car pipe" connection! From this one new hose, I was able to get one piece of hose that will do the job... and give me a spare to carry in the tool box... for only $8!
I cut this new hose apart, with the RH section as you see in the picture being my primary piece, and the LH section as my spare. I found an errant slice in the area near where the clamp would go, under the label....but once I cut the hose up I ruined my option of returning it... so for $8 I ordered another and am real fine with hanging it in the rafters until needed!" (Might still be there????)
My old lower hose is at the top of the picture....but I had no Y-pipe and wrong water pump as I found it....a total mess.
New hoses with proper Y-pipe etc fit MUCH better!!!!!
More cut and paste for "water pump to under car pipe" info from the same post! (Gates / ECR O'Reilly) #21749- I think this may be the stock lower hose for a 67-69 small block in Mustang /Cougar models.
"Needed to do just a tad of trimming to get things to line up and not bind.
I took one inch off of the lower end. It should be noted that this hose is 1-3/4" at the top and 1-3/8" at the bottom, just what doctor DeTomaso ordered!!!"
Hope these number help you out!
Steve
