195 is the standard temperature. Are you running cooler at180?

So I got the all aluminum radiator installed and everything seems fine. The only issue I have is the hose nipple for the throttle body is not as wide as the old one. So when putting the hose on with the screw type clamp, it leaks a little bit.

Now this isn't just a regular hose. It has a metal tube and both ends have a hose compression fitted to them. Does anyone know how or where I can get the hoses replaced and re-fitted to this pipe?

Thanks!
PS Pics soon!

To be honest, I didn't even hook up my throttle body coolant lines, I just put a cap and clamped it.

I ran into the same problem with the hose going to the heater core that mounts to the alt, just cut off at fittings and replaced it with regular hose and everything holds up and works great. Used hose clamps to secure it to the piping.

the metal bypass tube on mine had long since been lost, so mine is just clamped off
