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.

They look like this:

As opposed to this:

Do you guys just cut the upper radiator hose to fit or should I just buy another water neck.

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

hope this helps..............Mark

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". wink
