Where is Mallory Mazda?

Getto rig style?
Use lots of RTV, put hose on, tighten clamp.
Leave overnight to dry.
Then fill with coolant the next day.

Look for something like this in any auto-part stores:

Permatex is common sealer.
Different colors have different sealing properties. You might want to read the back of a package of sealer to see what its good for.
Black sealant or Red sealant will be good for what you need.

It's back on the road! I put a temporary universal hose onto it. It works, however, Up by the firewall the hose dose have a small kink. I will order the correct part soon, and use the universal hose as an emergency back up. The brass part is okay, I did not crimp it.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Also, thank-you RETed and N.Rotary for the RTV info.
