TBH any sealent like that imo is just a temporary fix it's not a solution, you could try it again but the fix will be to get the radiator reconditioned or replaced. The one you mention should fit I should think, it dosen't mention though, only other engine it can be for is a Pinto although these may be the same?

Kalimex K-Seal is the stuff to use if any, I personally know of engine blocks that were leaking over 5 years ago sealed with this that still do not leak, if it works it works 100% and within 10 minutes, you can change the anti freeze and don't need to renew the sealant.
