Looks like the only upper hose anyone has for a big block is for the 26" radiator. Got one from Rock Auto and it not gonna work. That one has the inlet on the passenger side of the radiator. In 67-68, the 22" radiator had the inlet on the drivers side. I then figured I would ask my local parts store for an upper hose for a 383 in an A body as the 22" radiator would have been the only option. The result was suggesting a flex hose. Figured I would try for the hose for a 68 340 A body as those would have the 22" radiator and the thermostat housing is in about the same place on both big block and small block. Same results, a flex hose. Same results for a B body 318. Anyone know if any molded upper hoses will work?

I have a E body 340 Sixpack upper hose on my Dart. Try that? May have to trim an end. I do have the Sixpack, but think that hose should be in the ballpark. Got it at O'rielly.

My original 22" rad in my '67 had the upper hose on the drivers side/centre. Non-AC car.

I used a Gates 21794, which at the time is what Rock Auto listed for my car, but do not seem to carry or have stock anymore.

Amazon has them. "Trim to fit", it's a little long.

Old pic with that hose.

Pretty sure it would be the same as a 68-69 roadrunner with a 383 and 22" radiator.
 
Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for. Everywhere I checked only had the hose for the big block with 26" radiator.
