the coolant hose ID catalog is either 13 down from the top or 2 up from the industrial section..
you will look up the hose end sizes you may need.. the length... then turn to the next section to look thru the drawings..
hint... online at some parts sites.. you can take your list of 30 or 40 hoses... yes.. this is not going to be easy.. do a search for them.. many parts sites actually put up pictures instead of drawings..
as a last resort.. there are plastic block sections used for prototyping header primary tube shapes.. you could always assemble some of those to create your hose shape.. to allow you to visit the parts store back rows..
don't forget.. that you will probably find a hose that is LONGER that you may cut one or both ends off to come up with the exact shape you need..
best of luck.. you can also take photos from multiple angles with some measurements to parts stores... some parts guys are very talented in selecting something that would fit.. i used to be really good at that..
An alternative to trial and error searching is to cut short sections of the correct bends from a molded hose and join them with a section of metal tubing.
This is it, have done it many times. And the trick is don't look for one that length only, you can get a three foot hose and use only one foot of it if that one foot is the same shape as you need!
And when you do find what you need, make sure you record what make and model (and the part number) of the hose you get so you can get it in the future.
will a universal hose work for u. it's rib hose that will bend almost any way u want.. just need opening and length size. local parts stores carry them.

old trucks have similar connections that don't work well with throttle bodies
i used a angled thermostat housing and some ss tube bends for my 58 truk
