62 starfire upper radiator hose

Does anyone know where I can buy a molded upper radiator hose for a 1962 Ols Starfire?

Try www.fusick.com . They were reproducing molded rad hoses at one time and I feel they probably still are.

Not 100% sure on 62, but 63-64 there are differences between hoses for 2-barrel and 4-barrel engines.

hose

I checked on the Fusick site and they do have the upper hose...almost $45 with shipping. Seems a little salty, but it may be my only choice.

Fusick is insanely overpriced on a lot of stuff. Bring your old hose to NAPA and they can match it up to something similar. It worked for me. You can also get the flexible hose for $11. But it seems a lot of people cry if its not factory correct around here

I never had any luck using flex hoses on these cars- they were always getting into the fan or power steering belt. If you have a good local parts store with a lot of stock that's an alternative.

Doesn't boil down to factory correct- boils down to does it fit and function correctly and not get hung up in belt drives. If that means paying a little extra for something that does, worth it to me.

I would try to match a hose, but mine has the flex hose on it now.
