replacement parts?
my upper radiator hose blew apart and I went to autozone, orilleys, advance auto and all 3 had the upper radiator hose but the problem was that the hose they gave me was to short in length.(went to all 3)
I ended up having to make it work just long enough to get home. I need about 3in for it to fit on properly but for now its just barely on the clamp barely has enough hose to clamp on to.(did not measure the hose sry)
Im currently searching online. I found one on summit says its 25in. so ill try that. but my main question is where can I get a complete new set of hoses? and vaccum lines? I have tried searching before but the only thing I found was the goodyear blue silicone hoses. I would prefer them be black.
but overall I just want to replace everything hose/line/sensors. really don't want to get stranded on the road again. my main focus for the car is for it to be a reliable daily driver.

I would really appreciate the help. maybe im searching using the wrong keywords but I just don't know what else to do.

thanks for the link. and ebay one. I ended up going back to advance auto. and got attended by a fellow fbody fan. (lucky me) and well we talked and I explained how the upper radiator hose they have listed is the wrong size and that their competitors also have the same hose. I ended up asking him to give me one with the same bends but a 1in or 2 longer. he went and found one and it turned out to be the perfect size. heres the part number or at least what was written on the hose. Length D code, 71679. incase someone runs into the same situation as me.
