hi ..
first thing you should know then Steve is that 2WDmanual trans 86 to
91's do not all have the exact same hoses.

the one variation I can think of right now, and maybe the only one is ...
the coolant distributor tower behind the firewall on the right side.
there are two versions.
it might be one for 86 and the rest is 87 and up. It's a little
confusing. Van Cafe says to get the part # off your old one. They can
just disintegrate sometimes, btw. - that large plastic part.

it depends on where the hose coming off the right front of the cylinder
head goes to, on the coolant distribution tower.
two versions, for that hose, and for the coolant towerthere.

Perhaps be more specific about what your actual problem/issue or hose
issue is and we can help you better.

Scott
