By-pass hose?

[sillystring]

I am doing the upper 60k on my `95 ATX. While nosing around I noticed that there is a bypass hose that is 5/8" dia by about 12" long that comes out of a spout in the upper middle of the engine block and goes to the throttle body. It is in sad shape and needs replaced. All I got were blank looks at AutoZone and Advance when asking for this part. Is this a Ford only part? If not where can I get it and what do I ask for?

Im sure any reinforced, oil resistant rubber hose will work. That hose doesnt have many fancy pre-bends in it.

It is a crank case breather hose. part of the PCV system.

Duh? Thanks. I destroyed it getting it off. Have one coming from the stealer tomorrow.

That hose is straight enough that bulk hose can be used to replace it.
