Can not use bulk hose there -- will not make the bend without a kink and will not fit the water pump. Order a formed hose from D vendor. Can be expressed if time critical. Bulk hose used to connect pipe sections from engine compartment to radiator. I went one step further and replaced as many sections as possible with long hoses altogether. Used NAPA fleet hose (yellow stripe?). Is beefier than formed hoses from D vendor. Have excess left over (had to buy 50 foot roll) -- will sell @ $3.00 per foot.
