AC DELCO GOLD - Part Number for Lower Engine-to-Pipe Radiator Hose w/AC? (Page 1/1)
82-T/A [At Work] APR 12, 12:40 PM
Hey guys... anyone know the part number for the AC DELCO GOLD radiator hose for the engine to pipe (lower) for the 2.5 Iron Duke (1985) with Air Conditioning? They have plenty that say w/o air conditioning, but I cannot seem to find a part number for the one WITH. Anyone have a way to look this up? I'm not seeing it... thank you!


Also, anyone know if they sell silicone replacement hoses for our cooling tubes? I'd much rather replace all my hoses with silicone. I have the factory-optioned ones for my 2002 Crown Victoria LX (normally offered for policy duty), and they're 21 years old now and as good today as they were when they were brand new...

Todd, I purchased silicone coolant hoses for my 88 2.5 but have not installed them yet. I picked mine up off ebay. Someone ran a light and hit me back in November and I don't know when I will feel like working on the Fiero.

Hey JDV, do you happen to have the eBay seller that sold them to you, or the manufacturer? I would love to go with silicone hoses for her car, they basically last forever. Would love to see a picture of what you have... if you have time. Most of the silicone hoses that I see online are more for the aesthetic, rather than purely for the longevity.

That sucks about getting rear-ended. I had a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport that I owned from 2009 to 2019. I was rear-ended 6 times. Every single time... the bumper would be shoved down in the rear. It drove me nuts... it was constant. Three times in Florida, 3 times in Texas. 5 of the times, I was completely stopped. Almost every time, it was because someone was on their cell-phone.

Hopefully you weren't in your Fiero, and it didn't get damaged!

Thanks! I saw that one, but assumed it was only for the heater core. But I went ahead and bought it. At $29 shipped... you can hardly go wrong.

Seems like they're fairly generic... though tenuously sized for the Fiero... so probably not an exact fit, but more than likely it'll still work. I think it's for the front only (lower / upper for Radiator), so probably identical for all the cars.

Going from memory, I think you cut at least one hose in half too get the right fitment.
