Upper Radiator Hose for HSR
I am installing the HSR on my car and I need a new upper hose. I have searched and could not find anything. My car has a Griffin rad. with larger than stock inlet on it. What rad. hose will fit? An earlier Camaro? Maybe a TB Camaro hose? Let me know. Thanks

GM High-Tech Performance specifies a hose for an '85 carburated Camaro. This is what I used, but the hose had to be trimmed to fit.

Yep I had to use a hose for a carbed engine as well. How much bigger in diameter is the inlet on the radiator? Get the measurement and go to autozone and see what they have that follows the TBI hose. Remember that the TBI hose does have to get cut so keep that in mind when comparing sizes.

The thing I didn't like about the carb'd upper hose was it wasn't shaped right for serpentine belt accessories. The part that runs along the radiator and makes the 90deg turn onto the rad fitting was curvy and threatened to rub on my alt pulley.
The TBI hose was shaped identically to the old TPI hose on that end, dropped right into that "U" shaped molding on the upper radiator mount, no problems.

For what it's worth...85 Carbed Upper hose is the same p/n as the TBI hose. I searched them all looking for one.
