Re: 1986 2WD 2.1- manual trans.


I having trouble replacing the short coolant line that feeds from the plastic distribution unit (pass side) to the last opening on the bleeder rail that encircles the engine compartment - doing a 180 deg turn. This line is only 4"-5" long and when I bend a length of coolant line, it nearly collapses on itself due to the tight bend. I also tried 7mm fuel line and it was slightly better. I longer length of line does not work any better.



Anyone else run into this? It's hose #27 on the diagram I found on-line.
