Rock auto sells Delco (Orig Equip) radiator hoses (if you're gonna do the upper, do the lower too). Should be about $25 for the pair. They also sell the knock sensors about $13 ea.
Plus ship.

The Delco radiator hoses I ordered for my '93 C4 didn't fit right. I thought I could save money by doing the Rock Auto way but ended up ordering the kit for all my hoses (made sense to replace them all) from Davies. (Item #: 139081). Some of the ACDelco hoses were too tight or didn't fit right. Even cutting wouldn't help. Check it out, might save you some headaches.

I checked out their website, and was impressed with "manufactured in the USA with materials sourced from North America." I will soon be installing my DeWitts radiator and this kit looks like I can do everything at one time. Thanks for the info.
