Hope someone can help out.....I have read through the many posts regarding what radiator hoses to use and keep coming up empty (wrong hoses). I have a 65 coronet, original 383 car. It came to me (in many pieces) with a 22 inch radiator and I am putting in a 440, 1977 model year. My upper hose is located top PASSENGER SIDE of the radiator and lower is on the far left (drivers side) of the radiator - which makes for a long travel to get to the passenger side of the engine. Anyone know for sure what hoses, where from, etc ? As always, appreciate all the help from you guys !

A radiator shop could relocate your outlet pretty easily for you.
It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!

change rad
move lower outlet on rad
change WP housing to a car unit
later cars/trucks use the pass side lower hose WP housing
use 2 hoses and a nipple to cross over to hook it up

Change water pump housing to pre-72
This is the much easier and cheaper way to go.
You should have no problem getting the earlier pump housing. Where are you located? I'll send you one for the cost of shipping .

Thanks.....don't know if it changes anything but I screwed up....the upper outlet on the radiator is actualy on the passenger side of the radiator....I originallty wrote it was in the center.
That doesn't matter , your problem is the lower outlet on the pass side of the engine . get the correct waterpump and all you need to do is get hoses for a 65 coronet .

any reason to not stay with the later model covers and buy breathers for later model covers ?
As long as you can find what you need there is no reason not to switch I guess . from your PM I have no idea what you need , it didn't make sense ?
