So I'm putting my water pump back together I noticed the waterneck had damage so I bought a new one. The thing is the angle is 90o as opposed to the one that pretty much come straight out of the block.
You want the one that comes straight up at a slight angle, like the four seasons one. The original hose that came with your engine has a bend to it that will fit properly, the one you bought, I believe is for a chevy engine
I did order the right upper rad hose, but I ended up cutting the bend out to get it to fit. Nothing like destroying a nice new hose. I guess I'll order the right combo here to avoid any future problems. Thanks for the input.

I also installed an aftermarket chrome water nexk. I also had to "customize" my upper radiator hose to make it fit after I took the OEM one into the auto parts place for them to compare it to. I just made sure I recorded the number of the hose that they found that worked.
This is sometimes why they call it "hot rodding".
