Is there a loacation or site to get new radiator hoses for a 390? Im having a hell of a time finding them and I brought them to NAPA and Autozone. Everytime someone sees it its like the first time they seen one. Any ideas?

i will look at some of the ones i have and see if theres a sticker with a part # on them.

Thats the weird thing Ice...it has part numbers on them. I went to 3 places and noone was able to help. I believe O Reillys was able to find me the bottom hose but nothing for the top hose. I thought it was weird as hell and thats why I havent asked the question here. I didnt want to sound like a dumba**...hmmm

make them look in a book instead of the puter.
all the stuff i order for my trucks is found in books, never in the puter.

I had to find one as close as possible and then cut it to fit. Maybe Carolina Classics or ....?

When I was a kid, OK also after my 1st divorce, I worked and managed a parts store. So I'm used to doing my own research before I hit the store.

I came up with some part numbers on the Goodyear website for my '66 with a 352. Should be good for your 390.

I was surprised to find the upper at Summit Racing for $14.95. I found it on ebay for a $1 more.

I've been meaning to order them. Thanks for the reminder.

I hope it helps you.

hmmm...well I finally did get the top hose from OReillys, they ordered it on friday and it was right. The bottom hose I just got a flex hose and will cut to match since its only about a 90 degree turn and not bad. I do appreciate the info though. The summit one isnt it though. Not sure if maybe my radiator is out of somehting else or what. Ill try and remember to get the part number and post. Im going to post pics soon but I wanted to wait a little longer for when thigns start to get all put together...
