How to find replacement coolant hoses for your ATX (pic)

[hawkeye18]

I've been waist-deep in a major resto of my wife's '95 ATX, and part of this is finding new coolant hoses. As most (if not all) of them have been obsolete for a long, long time, and nobody has replacements except for a few, we went hose hunting behind the counter behind our local Autozone, and have found hoses that are suitable replacements for the stock hoses. Obviously, they're not exact replacements, since none exist (except the oil cooler return hose, that is an exact replacement in the catalog), but I have cataloged the hoses you'll need to get (by part number as searchable by Autozone) in this handy picture.



Upper radiator hose is obtainable, and we haven't found a suitable replacement for the lower hose yet. I'll update this post when I find it.

I have a part number for a lower radiator hose that works perfectly after you trim off about an inch or so. Let me see if I can find it, I think I bought it at NAPA.

Ask for hose number 7311. I just bought one for mine a few weeks ago.

Perfect. You just saved me a bunch of time. See, this is why we have these threads!

I would just like to add something. I'm replacing the Heater Inlet Hose(Heater Hose #1) on my nephews car. The hose needed for the other end, the crimped end that goes to the engine is a tapered hose. It goes from 3/4s at the metal part of the hose to 5/8s at the engine. I found its part number in a different thread. Dayco B87612. Just cut to length.

Was the number for the upper radiator hose mentioned?

Another part number for the short 5/8" to 3/4" tapered 6" heater hose is ACDelco 14006S (or 88907007). It's on a few web stores, but I didn't find it listed online for a brick-and-mortar chain. Also Gates 18080, stocked by O'Reilly.

Interchange Part Number: 88907007, 18080, 87612, 63030, 87610, 303612, 3035
Other Part Number: 64367, KM-2867, 303610

Not mentioned here is cutting off the factory clamps so you can use a normal hose clamp. The crimped OEM design might actually prolong the life, since these hoses seem to bulge around standard clamps, but it's just a normal hose underneath, once you cut through lengthwise with a hacksaw or Dremel, not nicking the metal hose, and spread the clamp open to discard it.

The Ford OEM part# for the long S of "Hose 2" (outlet hose, the one without the cold engine lock-out switch) is F3DZ-18472-B, in stock at fordpartsgiant.com (they also have an OEM F3DZ-8005-B radiator). Gates 18774 is the same - cut off the extra. It has other substitutes:

Went through the parts catalogs with the NAPA warehouse guy, and there is no exact "M" shaped hose to be had.
