You can replace the hose connections and modern fittings are available although you might not find a new fitting that looks exactly like the old one. Check out NAPAhttps://www.napaonline.com BK6601548 for the 45 degree head fitting and BK6601507 for the straight return fitting. Details accompanying the photos are confusing but once you pull up the part number full specs are at the bottom of the page. They also have a longer straight fitting for the head on those cars which use that type. If those are not to your liking then look at plumbing supply houses and Amazon for brass or steel barb type fittings that are 3/8-18 NPT thread to 5/8 ID hose.

There is every chance the old fittings are well rusted in place and will give some grief getting them out. Lots of penetrating oil and some time is suggested before trying.
