On my 1987 Firebird Formula 350, 2 small hoses attaching to the engine cracked. I don't know what they do or what they are called, so that I can order new ones. I attached a schematic that I found and I added the colored hoses.
The red one is a very small diameter hose that runs from the back side of Heater water shut off valve towards the firewall and then it curves around and seems to go an air condition system part. What is it called?
The blue one is also very small diameter and runs from the front left coolant reservoir, around the heater water shut off value, and attaches under the part of the engine in the photo below. The blue arrow is where it attaches and then runs to the front passenger side of the engine. What is it called?
Thanks! If I can't find the exact hoses at rockauto, etc., as a temporary fix would taping up the broken hoses just to get the engine running work for awhile?
DORMAN 47418 Tubing Dia.: 5/32" Or just rubber vacuum hose works
Just picked up the Dorman Tubing on Amazon myself. Note that it is just the tubing and there are no connections. I'm planning to patch a section that broke by using a few small pieces of rubber vacuum hose as the connection between the old and new hard line.
