Seems the upper hose for the 70B body BB with 22" radiator no AC is not very plentiful. The inlet is driver side upper like the lower.

Does anyone have a good part number/manufacturer for a molded to fit hose? Seems like most are cut to fit or the flexible rib version.

Not interested in the reproduction versions. Just a high-quality parts store version. Thanks

Resto hoses on both of mine, so I'm no help.
When I get stumped, I take a sample or a bent tube to the local parts house and see what might work.
As in longer, but the right bends & diameter.

MULTIPLE CHOICES

Can also try cross referencing the numbers at the local parts store

Maybe ???

I have been to the RA site. All economy are the ribbed flexible and the rest are AC or HD cooling which are 26" passenger side. Other than cut to fit.

The Dayco 70352 is 1 9/16" vice 1.5" but probably could be made to fit.

I guess the reproduction are the only custom fit options out there? I did search on google, I just could not find any good options, and some of the hose seem to be mis marked in application based on actual photo of the hose.

I went there and saw several without AC molded upper hoses.

GATES 20370
CONTINENTAL 60291
ACDELCO 24003L

I just put a hose on my BB Duster, 22" radiator, driver's side inlet, and used a 71 340 hose and cut it to fit. It was about twice as long as it needed to be, and they all come out of the center of the engine so the only real difference is the side you need to connect on, and the distance between the engine and the radiator.
If you're in a bind where you need a hose and don't care how original it is, it would be worth a try to check one out. Gates 20602 or Dayco 70975.

I ordered the cont from RA will see how it works. Yes the Gates 20370 is cut to fit, and the AC Delco if you look at the pictures has Gates 20370 on the photo and cut to fit. Just seemed odd the mold to fit is really just the Cont or going for reproductions no name.

Lower hose there are a slew of mold to fit hoses. I guess that upper for a 22" driver side is just not in demand.

The cut to fit means that one hose fits more then one specific application. I suspect the upper hose for 22" radiator is probably a lot less demand then the upper hose to fit the 26" radiator. If the only difference between the two hoses is the length, it doesn't make sense to bean counters to make two hoses. Let the customer cut a couple inches off a hose to fit their application, and save all the costs involved in making, storing, and marketing a shorter and a longer version of the same hose.

Received the hoses yesterday and the Continental 60291 is a not a good fit. It has an angle that looks to fit a thermostat housing that comes off at an angle vice vertical like a Mopar. GM fit. The lower looks like a good match but won't know until I finish up some motor work. Neither had internal spring, the wall thickness of the hose is very good, especially the lower.

The parts had the Conti web site, when I went to their website the 60291 is not listed for a 70 road runner. It you type the 60291 it comes up primarily for GM vehicles, but then does show Mopar 70-74 B body and vans. Not sure why that is there as it will definitely kink the hose trying to fit the vertical thermostat housing.

Typing the mopar part number has no cross for the upper. Typing mopar lower and the 60659 comes up.

So it does look like cut to fit, or reproduction are the only options on a 22". Will look into that A body one.

I have used that Dayco 70352 on multiple 22" Upper radiator hose driver side on 70 - 71 B E Bodies 383 / 440 Big Block with great success
It’s your choice other then reproduction with numbers stamped

Peace

The reproduction numbers is also 1 9/16" on both

Peace

Thanks for info. One of those pictures looks 1/2" other 9/16". The original was 1 1/2". But if it works that is good to know.

Recently walked into my local NAPA store and bought upper
and lower molded radiator hoses. For a 70 340 Dart. They had them on the shelf!!!
