Looking for a correct molded upper radiator hose with the correct markings for a 67 with a 383 and a 22 inch radiator, does it exist?

right or left side out let on radiator?

passenger side outlet; according to my build sheet the part number was 2806186. However, the "experts" tell me that is for a 26" radiator; my car was built with and is coded for a 22" radiator. The hose that is listed for a 22" radiator is 2806185.

A lot of hose repros out there, I guess you could start calling, one other thing that they should do for a couple of bucks more is, include the large spring in the bottom hose, that would be great!

Went to start up my buddy's 69 RR with a new 505. Bottom hose was collapsing.

Made a nice new SS spring. In the future will make 2 less coils. Worked great!

That is sweet man, good job boys!!!

Sometimes I'm extremely happy that my Coronet isn't a "keep it factory stock looking" kind of car. While that is very cool, it does delete using some of the very cool aftermarket parts that are available.

I got sick of rubber radiator hoses many years ago when I was heavily into drag racing, so I purchased a set of the Cool-Flex hoses back in 1991 for my Coronet's 440 and in 2005 for my sons street driven 1972 Dart Swinger. Both sets of those Cool-Flex hoses are still in place on both cars and both sets still look like brand new and more important, they all still function like brand new. They are made out of a seamless copper tubing and both the hoses and their hose end couplers are available in chrome, or powder coated black, red, blue, or purple as shown below. These hoses will fit ANY application because you can either purchase them by the foot to fill specific custom applications, or you can purchase a prefabbed kit if you know what hose lengths you need. These hoses can be formed to be routed anywhere you need them to go and they will stay in the exact shape and location that you place them in.

Are they as cheap as rubber hoses and do they look like factory stock rubber hoses? Absolute not, but they will last forever and will never fail or collapse like rubber hoses do. I believe that they are also sold at Summit Racing and Jegs Performance as well.

I run these hoses on the supercharged small block in my Monte Carlo and on the 350 in my 55 pickup and they are great, but I'm still searching for the hoses for my Dodge.......

I do completely understand your need for the more conventional rubber hoses for your car, because I've also been there, done that on many Mopars in the past, but doing it that way just isn't fun for me any more, so that's why I mentioned that I'm so happy that on this 66 Coronet 500 that I've had since 1989 I'm no longer restricting myself to that never ending search for factory style parts. I won't live long enough to have to replace my Cool-Flex hoses and that's good by me!

As far as your search for the factory style rubber hoses, you might give Rock Auto a try.
