Adrian,
My 76 1500 radiator is 20 1/4" wide, but I have a small hose (~7/8") from
the top carburator side to the thermostat housing (this tees to the
expansion tank) and a large (~1 1/2") hose from the bottom drivers side to
the thermostat housing. It also has a large (~1 1/2") hose from bottom carb
side to the water pump. Again this is for my 76 1500 and when I went to
replace, I found out that they are N/A. So had to have it rebuilt.
