This hose features a molded construction, which provides a precise shape tailored to fit specific vehicle coolant system layouts without the need for additional clamps or modifications. With a centerline length of 23.8 inches (605 mm), it is designed to maintain proper coolant flow between engine components. The hose ends have inside diameters of 1.5 inches (38 mm) and 1.75 inches (44 mm), accommodating connections to different radiator or engine fittings. The absence of an internal spring allows for unobstructed coolant circulation, reducing the risk of flow restriction or hose collapse under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis radiator coolant hose is compatible with a range of General Motors vehicles, including Buick Bonneville, Chevrolet Caprice, Oldsmobile Delta 88, Pontiac Grand Prix, and others such as the Chevrolet El Camino, G10, G20, G30, Impala, LeSabre, Malibu, Monte Carlo, and Parisienne.
