Any time you see a listing for a hose that begins with 1881, it is a FLEX hose, not a formed hose. Chrysler even had a hose display rack in the dealerships that had all of the 1881 series (introduced in the late 50's) hoses on it. They are all straight, flexible hoses designed to match many applications. Why there were 1881 series hoses listed in the various parts books as being direct, formed hose replacements, I will never know. The inlet (upper) hose is always indicated on the broadcast sheet.
