replacing radiator hoses does it matter what type of clamp I use?
I'm replacing my radiator hoses they have the squeeze type clamps of them I'm guessing those are factory?there pretty rusty should I replace the hoses with the same type of clamps?or should I just go to the parts store and buy the screw on type clamps(worm clamps) or does it really matter?is one type of clamp better than the other?I cant seem to find the squeeze type clamps anyplace for some reason.anyone?

Clamps
Any clamp is better than that cheap pinch type clamp the factory put on , its really only holding at the extreme like 20 psi or something just don't over tighten them and cut into your new hose imo.
