Need a Part Number Reply #16 – October 28, 2005, 12:46:17 PM Quote from: jkirchmanOh you have no idea. My car was built in November of 1986. It has a liquid line that is different from EVERY aftermarket liquid line that is listed as fitting my car. The only thing we can figure out is that, since my car was built relatively late in the year, they used a totally different liquid line, perhaps only a few of them were used or perhaps it's from a different vehicle? There was absolutely no aftermarket or even Motorcraft liquid line that anyone could find that was the same as the one in my car. The girl (yes, girl) at the mechanic shop told me that she would give me the part number for the line in my car so that if I ever did find one then the old one can be replaced.Hmm. There were only 2 evaporators offered for our 83-88 cars (YK-82/YK-119). The main difference between them being the inlet outlet connection type.-------------------YK-82-----------------------------------------YK-119-----The change between the two occurred in '87. My '87 3.8 has a YK-82, when it should have a YK-119. The solution is to buy a liquid line for an '86 model. Does the following hose look like yours?If not, I'll be darned. Quote Selected
Need a Part Number Reply #17 – October 28, 2005, 02:10:05 PM No that hose looks nothing like mine. I wish I had taken a picture of it when they showed it to me. It is much longer and more stretched out than the one in that picture. They said they were able to find one that was almost exactly the same but the fittings on the end were different. Quote Selected

It is much longer and more stretched out than the one in that picture.

Also, the pictured hose is rubbber where the insulation is, so it can be straightened out.Do you have dealer air? I need pics!! :confused: Quote Selected
Need a Part Number Reply #21 – October 28, 2005, 04:25:34 PM I'll see if I can't find that line and take a pic. I don't think I have dealer air because my car has the ATC option. This is the closest picture I could find to what the line looked like on my car:Apparently the problem had to do with the fittings on both ends of the line that is in the car. Quote Selected
E before q when you spell equivalent Reply #22 – October 28, 2005, 05:41:05 PM Quote from: jkirchmanApparently the problem had to do with the fittings on both ends of the line that is in the car.The hose you posted is equivalent to the YF-2584, the correct hose for your car. That hose (and all other 87+ Fox hoses) have a male spring lock fitting on one end (goes into the evaporator), and a female spring lock fitting (goes into the condenser) on the other. As I said before, all these Fox-bodies have the same relation between the condenser outlet and the evaporator inlet. So, if the connections were the correct and the length was correct...what was wrong?Something isn't adding up. Quote Selected
Need a Part Number Reply #23 – October 31, 2005, 10:28:50 AM I will try to find the actual part number for that hose. Maybe that will shed some light on this. Quote Selected
Need a Part Number Reply #24 – November 03, 2005, 12:38:09 PM Okay I finally got the correct Ford part number today. Here is the part number for the liquid line that is on my car: E3SZ19835AYF1067Sound familiar to anyone? Quote Selected
Need a Part Number Reply #25 – November 03, 2005, 12:50:54 PM It's from 1983 engineering, that much is certain. Quote Selected

E3SZ19835A YF1067You can buy this hose at any parts store. My guess is the shop only brought 87+ hoses for the YK-119 evaporator. FYI, the previous hose I posted would also work. I made up a list of liquid lines available for our cars, but I can't attach an .xls, so you'll have to wait for me to get home to post it. Quote Selected
Need a Part Number Reply #27 – November 18, 2005, 04:29:02 PM -sorry, but i just now saw your post. dont have as much time to read as i did, but anyway your post says you want a liquid line. and i'm aSsUmInG its for the '87 5.0 cougar. according to ford parts terminology a liwuid line runs from the evaporator to the condenser. if this was the line in question, the part # was e7ly-19835-a for your application(again assuming) which has since changed to f3zz-19835-ca which is still availiable from ford in a large quantitys!! if thats the case someone was feeding you a line or didnt know what they needed in the first place..... hope this might help in the future...:2c: Quote Selected
