Looking for a correct bypass hose for my L78 water pump to intake. All I can find are hoses with an 85-90 degree bend. Bend on original looks like its approx. 15 degrees.

Use a straight piece of the correct ribbed hose. It will bend without any kinks. John p.s. just put a waterpump on a bb and the straight hose worked out fine.They do not make a 15 degree bend hose.

When I need a hose with a particular bend, I go to the local parts store and look through the hoses hanging on the wall. I always find something that has the bend that I need. The hose that has the bend may have a couple of different bends and be a mile too long. If that's the case, I cut the bend that I need out of the "donor" hose.
PS...Bend a coat-hanger to fit the bend you need and take it with you.
