Hi I have a 1986 Toyota that we just put a new head on. I am replacing everything I can while I am in there. I have a question as to which hoses these are exactly, and where can I buy them?:

take a piece of it to a auto parts store and buy it in bulk by the foot.

Yup. And another trick I learned many years ago regarding the speciality 'molded/shaped' hoses is to do the same----go to your local auto parts stores with the old hose in your hand and ask the counter people if you can go back and try to find something similarly sized & shaped that will match. Trust me, it works about 80% of the time. And fact I just did this last week on the '91 3.0----found two hoses on the Kragen rack that I cut down to the same lengths as the large heater heater hose near the firewall, as well as the smaller horse shoe shaped hose back on that little manifold goody behind the upper air plenum. Saved me yet one more trip to the dealer and probably at least fifteen bucks.........

the red one is a dealer only hose... at least in california it is.

you can also do what ricky b said, i tried that but couldnt find one that was similar in size or shape.

Thanks for the replies. The local dealer is not very intelligent, does anyone have part numbers for the hoses that are not common?
