    Does anyone have a part number for a upper radiator hose that will work on a 32 ford walker radiator with a tri power set up on a small block chevy. I tryed a napa 7029 but that doesn't work because of the offset to the driver's side of the intake manifold.
    Thanks Jeff 20191129_170909.jpeg

    I never knew there was tri-power radiators. All my vehichles use the standard rads so I guess they are uni-power? LOL

    Never really realized how many different angles you could get from a chevy thermostat housing. Any suggestions on the angle?

    You can get one that is straight up.

    I will look into that. It would have to be pretty short to clear the front carburetor.

    Go down to your local Autozone/O'Reilly's/etc and get a length of heater duct hose in the correct size for the thermostat housing and rad inlet. Bend it to fit your configuration, then go back and match it up with a radiator hose. Easy, peasy!

    A thermostat housing from a 1980 chevy citation V6 goes straight up and fits the V8 manifolds. Discontinued part number but might be available after market. Have one on my '32 with walker radiator.
