NAPA radiator hoses? (1 Viewer)

[CBFJ]

Upper radiator hose blew out today. She's in a hotel parking lot, and can't be there the week it'll take to get a hose kit from SOR etc. Can I go to NAPA and assemble the 4 necessary hoses? (F engine is F540328, assuming 68-76 will work) I'd like to replace them all now. If so, which am I looking for? How are they coded? Thanks in advance.

Napa should be able to look them up. Doubt they will have them in stock though.

Duct tape, lots. Leave the radiator cap off and nurse it to close place you can leave it parked for the week.

Sometimes you can find a section of exhaust pipe that will fit and can be clamped in place. Pop can, aerosol, metal drinking cup might fit.

I needed a new upper radiator hose for my 65 40. Brought the old hose to NAPA and they matched it something they had on hand. I cut to the correct length and I was off.

I love the spirit, but would like to avoid filling and draining twice. Now that the first batch of coolant is all over the engine compartment and highway, just want to fill and pressurize once and be done with it.
