Re: Upper Radiator hose for a 288

I really dislike the flex-hoses. They create turbulent flow and hence are restrictive; they do as BigKev says put undue strain on the radiator gooseneck, and besides that their appearance just conveys a poor message. If you find the correct ones from the various Packard vendors too pricey, just rattling around an autoparts store until you find a current hose from which you can cut a section that has the proper profile & diameter will make a better looking and performing job.
