Yeah it sounds like you're talking about the water pump bypass hose. Any parts store, a couple bucks.

I just got the upper, lower and bypass hoses for my '88 302 for $21 at the local parts store, also replaced heater hose. Went to the dealer first, they wanted to spec ial order it. Go to the parts store. The blue hoses are supposed to last longer, but for that price you can replace them several times. I'd go cheap.
