Have sold and used Gates product since working in my Dad's gas station in the late 1950's, all of the 1960's and up and until it closed its doors in 1976. Very glad Speedway sells Gates products.

Hose is extremely stiff for being a "flexible" hose! Too much pressure on radiator connection. Could well break the solder joints. Tossed hose in my spare parts (junk) bin and purchased a MORE FLEXIBLE hose from a local speed shop.
