Brian, my notebook shows Napa #8426 as what I use for the upper hose on my '69 model 95, it is not quite a factory fit but works perfectly well, I think I trim it a little at one or both ends for best match. I have never found a match for the U-shaped lower hose. You could take two tight 90 degree sections and join them together with a copper pipe coupler to make a U. My solution was to solder a copper 90 degree elbow to the down-pointing lower radiator nipple so it points rearward, then it just takes a single 90 degree hose section to connect to the water pump inlet. My next-level solution will be to abandon the stock water pump altogether in favor of an electric water pump.
