Jack's Comments:
This is an American-made reproduction of the unique 428 Cobra Jet intake manifold heater hose 90-degree fitting. Correct radius and height, but the length after radius is shorter vs originals. Right now, it's the best available on the market.
Concours Tip:
1) This fitting is painted Ford Corporate Blue along with the rest of the engine (428 S/CJ only).
2) The factory covered the nipple end before painting. This helped the hose to stay in place. They also did this with the water pump radiator hose end.
