Help Need a NOS or part number of a usable lower radiator hose for a 1966 Buick Skylark GS 44617. Thanks Kevin 651 456 3225 :3gears:
maybe this'll work.... Not from personal experience but I kept a huge info log info when I used to have my '66. This is clipped from, I believe the nailhead e-group a few years ago. Not certain of the author. "Prior posts recommended NAPA 8484 and 7286 for the lower hose......I tried the 7286, but it is a slightly larger diameter, and the fit is a bit loose on the water pump.....I haven't tried the 8484 yet. For the upper, I used the Gates# 20704. Works Great! Also listed for the upper is Gates #20406 or 20466 (w/o a/c). For applications with A/C, try #20542." ...
66 GS lower radiator hose Kevin, went through this a last year on a 65 GS, best fit I found was to use about12 inches, starting from the engine side,of a 70/72 Skylark upper hose. I have a NOS lower for a guide and bends are about the same and it fit great. The part number for the 70/70 upper Skylark was XL 107 from Auto Zone, and I think it was made by Kelly Springfield or Goodyear. It cost me $6.99 at the time and I bought two just to have a spare. Thanks Bill Sangster
Got the hose - Thanks fellas Thanks for the help guys This site works! I went for the Autozone hose Bill wrote about. Cost 10.99 thought. That will work. Got to get ready for the first show of the year. kg
