This is my brother's engine....396, numbers matching to his '67 El Camino. He was good enough to 'loan' it to me when my 454 turned out to be unusable as it was.

I used lower hose - DAYCO Part# E70970 (for a '79 Malibu w/3.3L V6) with the middle bend removed and spliced back together with JEG's part# 555-51155 Inline Radiator Hose
Drain. This is for a LWP and a stock type radiator. Fit perfect.

The hose cut and spliced together. Not real pretty, but better than a universal/corrugated hose....imo. And this piece really makes draining the radiator a piece of cake.
