Well just take it to the parts store, you know what I mean.
Also, you should replace the lower radiator hose, by pass hose, and upper radiator hose with a 180 degree T-stat while your there. When installing the heater hose off the pump you want to use the new O ring that comes in the kit and I would put just a very fine film of RTV on the walls of the pump where it plugs in when you go to install it just to help lubricate the O ring down the hole and plug any possible leak. Now you don't need to use it, but you should at least lubricate it with something ya know. Yes it just sits in there. Also get a brand new pump, not a rebuild!
