1966 Grand Prix Radiator Hose
I'm restoring a '66 tripower, a/c, with PS car and the upper radiator hose is sitting right on top of the alternator???
Does anyone know where to get an upper hose ... preformed ... so it sits over the alternator with space? I have pic ...

Ames Performance has the radiator hoses you need. There's two kinds, (different lengths I think) for cars with or without power steering.
Great restoration, by the way. I saw some new pictures on Facebook of it. Nice work!

I saw a pic of a restored car and it looks like my pic. Is mine sitting right?

From what I can see of your pictures it looks like it's sitting right, it's just too short.
The upper hoses for your car should be a bit longer than you seem to have. Here's a couple of pics from the '66 wagon I had. Not a tri-power but you get the idea of how the hose is routed

Here's the upper hose I just bought from Ames for my '66 Bonneville. A
It's about 32 inches long.

It looks like the section that goes into the intake needs to be longer on mine.

I think it's the loop around the alternator and into the radiator that should be longer on your car.
The first section from the thermostat housing, before the first curve, can't be to high and looks right on the one you have now.
