Default Coolant hose

The previous owner has use a rather bad solution when replacing the hose for the cooling fluid between the radiator and the engine.



If you look closely you will se a small plastic band that holds this standard hose to the radiator so it wont touch the belt. If this band breaks I'll have a mess.
My motor-english is bad, so I wonder if this: http://www.zip-products.com/Corvette...B95AD8961E91AC
is the product i need? (Yes it is a 72)

Is there normally any fluid in this hose when the car has stood for a couple of hours? I suppose that the fluid sinks down to the level in the radiator.

I believe that is the right hose.
