enlarge 119KB, 800x533 26 The upper radiator hose is for a V8 Malibu....trimmed for length.
enlarge 24KB, 800x800 27 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.
enlarge 102KB, 800x533 28 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.
