I've noticed that the t-stat housing on the Exploder intake points the hose straight up , whereas , the one on the bronco does not.
Bronco's in the exhaust shop for now , so I can't compare right now , but ...
1. Will the old housing work on the exploder intake , thereby using the hose I currently have. If not ....
2. What hose should I get to fit properly?

I'm not swapping the serp. system just yet and still using stock type radiator in/out locations.

Thanks in advance.

Upper hose. Application is upper hose for '69 Pontiac GTO w/ 400 inch engine. It was the recommended hose for the Mustang 5.0 swap when using a stock radiator. Shortened it quite a bit for the Explorer setup.

The simple fix that I found was going to Autozone .They have a flexible rad hose with a 90* bend at one end. I had to trim off 1" at the other end. Worked perfect. Sorry I don't have a stock # to give you
