1971 V6 Stock Radiator Hoses

I use a NAPA 7096 for the upper hose. Works good in my 71.

Napa also has the bypass hose (NBH 7333) http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Hose-ByPass/_/R-NBH7333_0117424755

 

^The above 2 numbers should be correct. The lower hose is a 7196.

In Gates, the lower hose is a 20355, the bypass is a 20521, and the upper is a 21660 (these are on my '70).

 

Just rebuilt the motor in my '71 V6.

Had a heck of a time finding the lower radiator hose, but I finally did!

The top hose number is Gates #20521, and the lower hose is also Gates #22553. They fit perfectly!

 

I installed the Gates 21660 (upper), Gates 20355 (lower), and Gates 20521 (bypass) on my 1971 V6. I had to trim about 1.5 inches off of the radiator end of both the upper and lower hoses, but after the trimming they fit perfect. See Photos:


Gates 21660 (upper) trimmed approx. 1.5 inches of radiator end


Gates 20355 (lower) trimmed approx. 1.5 inches of radiator end


Gates 20521 (bypass)

 

Last post was almost 2 years ago still helping people. That's awesome

 

I replaced mine, I was not happy with the fit, so I cut it in half an used a piece of plastic they sell for a insert piece gave it a small twist, an it fit great!. It worked great. Everything came from O Reillys...good place.
