Wasnt exactly sure where to post this but im looking for one of the blue upper radiator hoses that was used on the later 70s 440 Monacos High Perf mostly police cars. On the Dukes of Hazzard they used one of these hoses from one of the police cars and put it on the close up General lees.Thanks for any help

It is a silicone hose. Used mainly on heavy duty type vehicles (police,taxi,etc). You may try Napa.

IIRC that's the GoodYear line of "High Miler" hoses, blue in color,...Summit Racing.com carries that line

Thanks for your help so far guys. I checked Napa and Summit, Napa doesnt have anything like that and Summit just has them in all late model vehicles nothing to fit the Charger

While they might not have your EXACT application,.. there's.nothing that you can't adapt?

You almost have to have yours in hand and walk below them hanging and look at them .Witch meens you would have to find an auto parts store that has them.

I do this all the time when I do oddball engine swaps,..if you have a "friendly" counter man, bring in your old hose, first find what Goodyear Miler Blue hoses are avaliable from summit, goodyear, etc, then just look and compare your hose to the current model offerings in the standard hose for those models avaliable in regards to shape/diameter,...then order it in the Goodyear Blue Hi miler that matches your application from the stock hoses you compared it to...some parts stores still have catalogs that have pics/deminsion to compare to, you just have to do some leg work if you want it bad enough

You can thumb through Goodyears site for Hi-Miler hoses here...

Hi-Miler

...but I think you'll find that the exact hose you want has long been out of production. I looked for these several years back for the Chrysler, and came up with nothing. I too would love to have a set.

But by looking at these listings, you can get an idea of what they DO make. If you have a cooperative local store, you can then ask for their rubber versions of those hoses to compare the shapes. Maybe you'll get lucky.
