thanks Ted. bought the 56 chevy hose this morning and went on without any cutting and fits perfect. sure looks better than the three 90 degree elbows I had stuck together to get around all the corners. does look OEM. Was at the car show last weekend at Daytona International Speedway and looked at all the 32's to try and get more ideas there and every one of them had terrible looking concoctions made to get the water where it needed to go on lower radiator connection.
