Default Heater Hose recommendation.

My son and I took the car for a Sunday cruise yesterday. I was about 2 miles from the house, and started smelling coolant/noticed the heat gauge rising fast. Pulled into a parking lot, and my son spotted a hole in the heater hose that runs from the head - right next to the distributor.

I replaced it with some Gates 5/8" rubber fuel line. Do I need to get a fancy pre-molded version, or will this work? What sort of pre-molded do you recommend? It's a 1965 LeMans.
