Default Radiator Leakeage

ok, the big hose up top going from the radiator to the intake is a jagged piece of crap and i everyone that looks at my engine always comments "these are crap, get new ones...." well i want to because i found it its leak from the intake side down the block which is sizzling it and making a faint smoke...my engine is running on almost the H on the temp guage and it didnt used to do that.....

basically, i need to know what hose i can buy from summit that will fit my edelbrock 289 performer bolted to my 302. this is for a 68 coupe.

thanks

I just did a swap from the stock 2 barrel cast iron intake to an edelbrock performer 289 intake manifold and it is the exact same thing as stock so just get a direct replacement and you should be fine (I am using the same hose from the stock intake) because the intake dose not relocate your hose port or thermostat.
