air ducts

   Hi all There are two ducts that go to the air cleaner.  One is plastic (rectangular) and the other is round aluminium.

Where can I find replacements?  

The plastic one looks a lot like a "Crown Automotive J323 1980 Air Intake Tube"  but there is no mention of it fitting a Ford.

Ford cold air duct flex tubes are hard to find. The Crown Automotive J5358444 Cold Air is Induction Duct also looks similar. Not sure if it's any better than the Crown J3231980 Intake Tube you found.

For the round heat riser tube. CJ Pony Parts has them Ford Part #: C9UZ-9652-A or look for a vintage hot air duct for a jeep wrangler  J115798.

Secluff wrote a post a while back on the cold air flex tube...

gmadrid had researched and found this hose (Crown Automotive, part # J3231980) that is a  replacement for some Jeep vehicles.

Ford had released some service hoses after receiving feedback from fleet owners who were spending way too much money replacing the plastic duct and hose assembly's.    

D3OZ-9A624-B 2 5/16X3 11/16 X11

D5UZ-9A624-B 2 5/16X3 11/16X18 1/4

D7UZ-9A624-A 2 5/16X3 11/16X25 3/4

The last two numbers are van part numbers (extra length) and were cut to fit. The Ford hoses are no longer available. You can see that the dimensions are close enough that the 

3 1/2 x 2 1/2 hose gmadrid found fit perfectly as he reported.

The link is just one source for these flex hoses. You can use the J-3231980 number to search sites such as E-Bay or Amazon.com to find the best price.

I recall Henry's Parts Depot listed a few of the Ford tubes: http://www.henryspartsdepot.com/fuel-system-page-8.html
