which radiator hose is this....?

Hey guys which one is this? I ordered an upper radiator hose. So I'm assuming its the lower? I mean pretty obvious. But I'd rather not waste another $35 bucks. Thanks....

Its the red arrow....

The other larger one [radiator drivers side upper] is the 'radiator inlet hose'.. here are the p/n [but note 93-4 or 95-7 differ]
GM 95-7 p/n 10261148
GM 93-4 p/n 10256242

The smaller [lower] drivers side hose is GM 'engine bypass hose' GM 93-7 p/n 10197675

Note on these diagrama from shoebox' site the difference between 93-4 and 95-7 configurations:
http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/93-94_hoses.jpg
http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/95-97_hoses.jpg
#16 on both diagrams is the 'bypass hose' [GM 10197675] note that this is a seperate hose, and the same p/n for all [93-7]

#14 is the 'radiator inlet hose'
GM 95-7 p/n 10261148 [note no 'tee' to TB]
GM 93-4 p/n 10256242 [note the 'tee' off the hose that goes to the TB]

If you need the hose that goes to the drivers side TB, well for 93-4 it is the 'tee' hose off the 'radiator inlet hose' [GM 10256242 ]
For 95-7 it is a seperate hose [#5 in the 95-7 diasgram] from the radiator upper psgr side to drivers side TB[GM 'throttle body heater outlet hose' 95-7 p/n 10261149]

I am not going to make a call as to whether one is 'upper' or 'lower'[ since the radiator actually has 5 hoses connected to it..]
The above should help you decide, along with the diagrams..
It also rather clearly shows the difference between 93-4 and 95-7 hoses..

If you use are replacing your hoses i would stay away from water wetter. It makes your hoses break, I found this out the hard way, just check around and youll see im not bs ing. Instead i use this other stuff called towkool. its a little more expensive but it works the same.. or you can go with purple ice. I would stay away from water wetter though.

I tend to doubt that it is available except from GM due to the wierd tee setup..
Where did you order it from?
Are you APO? etc?
I may have a serviceable used one if I can find it..

Or you can buy the Good Year Hi Miler kit [for 95-7] and change to the 'late' [95-7] hose configuration?[I did, I think it a better setup..]This eliminates that 'tee' hose, the 'tt' in the bleeder pipe, and the 'coupling' in the TB pypass mod..
