I need to change out my top and bottom radiator hoses on my 1983.
The top one is a two piece with a metal insert holding the filler cap.
I would like to know if there are any available at local parts houses that would work?

radiator hose numbers
in 1965-83 Avanti

1983 Avanti, 305 with filler cap inline with top radiator hose. Using the information in this forum I just had my hoses replaced. The mechanic ordered several of those mentioned and found the following perfect fit. Lower = NAPA # NBH 7390 (Gates 20627), no changes needed. Upper = NAPA # 7686 (Gates 20812, if you cut this hose to fit the current long part from the filler cap to the block, this will leave enough to replace the short part from the filler cap to the radiator.
