replacing all tubes/hoses - need help 200 1981

I am going to replace all the hoses in my 1981 240 non-turbo this spring. Does anyone have a complete list of the types and sizes this model uses? I found a list for an '85 760 turbo (http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=335617). Are there significant differences for my car? thanks.

Then there are the vacuum hoses and the power steering return hose, and the emission control hoses between the gas tank and the charcoal canister, and windshield washer. The 200 went through a lot of changes at about that time. Depending on what region of the world you are in and even what state in the USA. But I agree such a data base would be useful to everyone.

Well, since your car has a different engine and FI system and is normally aspirated instead of turbocharged, I'd say there are probably quite a few signficant differences.

As far as coolant/heater/radiator hoses go, I'd just get on FCP Groton's website and order what you need. Upper and lower radiator hose, two heater hoses, coolant filler/overflow bottle to radiator hose. I think you're looking at about $33 for all five hoses.

Fuel lines are going to be problematic. I think all the ones on my K-jet car have threaded fittings or banjo fittings on them, with the exception of the line from the tank to the main pump.
