OK, I live in SoCal and don't use my car all that much. My radiator finally started leaking all over and I'm replacing the rad, upper and lower hoses and thermostat. Which one should I use? BTW, I scored new 3 row radiator for 80 bucks! Thanks in advance, Phil.

Agreed with both Kevin and Bill. Been using 'em for years.

A local speed shop might have them in stock (10 bucks at the shop in town here; under 9 bucks at Summit).

Good luck.
