Universal flexible hoses?

Do not install a ribbed universal hose,on the inlet side to the pump, on any performance engine. You will pull your hair out trying to solve an overheating condition that only exists because of that hose. Your water pump is a very good pusher pump but almost lousy at sucking. And especially lousy at sucking thru a; turbulent, too-small, and probably gonna be kinked up, hose.


EDIT
I'm not a fan of bling anyway.
I don't wear a watch,nor a ring, heck I even threw my eyeglasses away
and my 367 is just as plain. And you know why? cuz I drive the thing; in the rain and the snow an the sleet and the hail...... or at least I used to........ and all that kindofchit. And so it gets mighty dirty under the hood. Oh wait, the last time I cleaned under the hood was 2004,lol.
