  • What to do about By-Pass Hose?!

    Well, I was on my way to work and my by-pass hose came to its end. Now the problem is that noone can get it. I've been to Advance, Autozone, Napa and Ford. Its obsolete. Anyone else have to replace one of these? What did you do? Thanks!

        Is this the little hose on the front of the block? Mine blew out and I found a suitable replacement at Advance. It was for something else but I cut it to work.

          Sometimes the independant parts houses will take you to the back to check out their molded hoses, match the bends as closely as possible from some part of the length of the hose in stock, mark that part number down, that way you can get the bend again if needed then cut off the excess hose.
          it runs so sweet

            Yea, I'm going to go after work tomorrow and see if anyone will let me look through the hoses. I miss having this car! Driving the 400 HP Mustang everyday is killing me on gas, ha

                go to auto parts store and ask for one for a 1990 or 1991 mazda 323 because that is what i used recently and then cut it to fit. packrat has the gates part number.

                    I just bought 10 feet of 3/8" hose from a bulk supplier. If it doesn't want to bend, I'll just scrounge through my hose box for a suitable 90 degree bend piece and cut to fit. (I also just ordered 10 feet of 3/8" red heater hose, 10 mh4 hose clamps, and some hose bending coils...)

                      Ok, I'm retarded. I don't know why I didn't look for one for a 323. Advance has 3 in stock. Thanks!

                        If it is your small bypass hose that comes off the T-stat housing ,
                        It is no longer available , so you will need this one ..

                        Gates hose part # 18206 and on the other side of the tag is #0 72053 19142 4

                        This has the correct bend and you will need to cut a little length off , and it will look like a factory hose .

                        It will fit right and will not kink .
