Bruce,
That car is nothing but trouble for you. Why don't you let me do you a favor and take it off your hands, it should run fine up here in the cool Pacific Northwest....
Seriously, be sure to get a lower rad hose with a spring inside, to prevent it from sucking flat when hot. If your new hose doesn't have the spring, you should be able to pull it out of the old one and slide it in...
