Need pic of SB w/AC upper radiator hose
« on: May 14, 2007 - 05:25:00 PM »
I'm replacing the radiator hoses on my car.  The upper hose doesn't look right.  It seems to curve inward, touching the  AC compressor.  It would seem it should curve the other way, there's plenty of room.

Does anyone have a pic of a SB with AC that shows the upper radiator hose?


Thx

Thanks, yours looks better, as you can see, mine curves toward the compressor.

Thanks, that looks good.  The Sanden swap is in my future.

Is that a 22 or 26" radiator, I wonder if that's the difference, mine is 26"

I have a 26" rad and have never seen that style rad hose on any small blocks I've owned so if you are worried about it I would replace it with the correct one, or it looks like there may be room after the sanden conversion. Just my  :2cents:  Here's another small block pic.

Thanks for the help,  it was the wrong hose.  Picked up another at AutoZone.  Everything fits great now.
