Rad. Hose size

Anyone know the upper radiator hose size in diameter and length for a 200?

Local autoparts store has them on sale this weekend, and I need one on my 1966. Their books do not go back into the 1960's and....

Stock inlet and outlet was 1.25". I am looking for anyone who might have info on a later model that has a 1.5" but to this date, I cannot find any. I also have been to many junkyards and checked Mavericks, Comets and such but they seem to all have the smaller size.

That will help. They are $3.99 this weekend. I measured (without removing anything) about 1 5/16" diameter. Must be some stretch involved. I got a goofy, home made radiator, which has outlets aimed to dodge a few things under the hood.

Only one which seems to be large is the hose connected direct to water pump.

Go to Napa. They can get the right one for you.

or their website, if there isn't a napa near you.

You do not have to necessarily go with a preformed hose. Use a universal type and make sure it is reinforced. While you are at it , look at your bottom hose as well and see if it is reinforced.
