Hey finally got my CA running and was driving it, started smelling antifreeze, then saw some steam. Seems the upped rad hose had a crack in it and it grew larger till the whole thing blew.

Thing is where do I get a new hose, locally?

What type of car should I get a similar hose from?

Again im looking for an upper radiator hose locally.Also, I take it a 88 pulsar thermostat will be a direct drop in?thanks guys

wow thanks again guys for all the answers.

I ordered the hose today and it'll be here tommorow.

Also while im oon the topic of cooling if I order a SR13 koyo rad will it work with a CA, or should I get a KA rad for it?

Also where is the cheapest place to buy a koyo rad?

Thanks again
