Default 70 camaro LS1 radiator hose

I would like to get a new radiator hose for my 70 Camaro. I bought the car a few years ago and the conversion was already done. I want to fix a few of the things that are not right. The upper hose bugs me. Can someone recommend a hose that would work on there and not look like Sh_t.

Thanks

You might need to check your radiator to see what size your upper outlet is if it is 1 1/2", you can try and use a 98 Camaro/Firebird one... if it is a larger outlet. you might have to work on finding or adapting the hose to the smaller outlet of the Gen III/IV engine to the larger outlet size of the radiator.

Figure out the sizes, and then get a piece of heavy wire. Use the wire to figure out what the overal lenght and bends need to be and then head out to NAPA. Most of them will let you dig around until you find a decent hose to use...

Chane the radiator to one with a fitting on the left side so you have a shorter hose, then check in Jegs for molded universal one. That is what I am doing on my LSX swap with my nova.
