Re: AD/SBC Radiator Hoses?

I visited the parts store with a wire pattern and ended up with a NAPA 7776 (Gates 21064). Trimming the ends off resulted in a very good fit (see pic). I think an even better hose may be a Gates 20811. Next time.
Bear in mind that my engine position may be different from yours so these numbers might not work for everyone.

Is that a 45 degree water neck/thermostat housing?
Thanks.
