Gates 68-76 Dodge Dart V-8 318 Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This is the upper molded coolant hose from Gates, part number 20602. It's specifically shaped to fit the V8 318 engine in your 1968-1976 Dodge Dart, and it also fits a wide range of other vehicles from Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, and Jeep. A molded hose like this is designed to replace the original part precisely, ensuring it connects your radiator to the engine's water pump without kinks or interference.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for these hoses, built to handle the high temperatures and pressures found in your cooling system. The construction is designed to resist cracking and premature wear, so you can expect consistent performance. Because it's molded, it has the specific bends and curves needed for a clean installation, often making the job easier than trying to fit a universal hose.
