Slant heater hose connector

none of the parts stores had them. or at least didnt want to look for a "u" or a "j" shaped heater hose . they all kept asking what yearmakemodel... ugh... anyway. temp fix while i was in there swapping the water pump. would like to rebuild the heater in the near future to help cool the engine(slant 6). plus its in the low 50's here in Los Angeles. anything below 75degF is hoodie weather for us locals ;)
