Anybody have a part# and manufacturer for a correct top hose for the 70 GS455. The ones I seem to get at the parts stores never quite fit right.( they dont line up with the hook on the fan shroud and they have a curve to them instead of being straight) Any help appreciated. Larry
Larry I have two 70s and the same problem. Iwill ask Year One tech during the week if no answer is received by then Jim Lore
I had the same problem. I asked Dave Kliener about them and hem said he gets them from Gates. Gates is a Manufacturer so I would look for someone who sells gates. For what its worth!!
Gates site Larry, try this link to the Gates web site, where you can punch in your zip code to find the nearest Gates dealer near you. HTH http://www.gates.com/automotive/distributors/index.cfm
depending on year or model, sometimes gates makes the correct one or dayco does. other than that the only choice would be to have them repo. been there, done that with gates john
The Best Hose I Have Found Is From Auto Zone. (they Carry Goodyear) Goodyear 60959 Xl Sku# 0 37256 02344 6 I Used A Lower Hose Internal Spring In The Upper Hose Where It Comes Out At The Thermostat Housing For A Smoother Transition. Gary
Larry, I did not know he used gates but the GM au 1386849XB hose he sell's seems to fit the hose hook well. A lot of them don't and also hit the fiberglass snorkel. DL
