The straight hoses are correct for your installation. Doglegs are for later engines fitted into early cars.. First off, why is radiator lower? Can you shim it up? I could not get my 32 lower hoses to seal and they have the kinda same outlet to radiator alignment- straight hose. Solution was to get the good hose clamps made by A and L Specialties. This assuming you want to use original style clamps. All of the original style repro cheap clamps are junk. The A & L ones worked great and solved the problem immediately. If you are using worm drive clamps then I am out.
