I’m trying to figure out the specific type of hose that goes from the bottom of the coolant reservoir to the engine, any ideas?

The old hose is gone? This is not a pressurized hose, but it needs to handle a bit of heat. Just about any rubber tubing the right diameter to fit onto the nipple of the bottle should work.

I’ve still got it, that explains it though. The guy at advanced auto parts is going to cut me out the correct size (hopefully). But that’s what I was trying to figure out…thanks for the help…
