Default New radiator....hoses too big

I bought a del sol radiator from autozone...got the right one according to their website. My radiator hoses are too big. The radiator I bought has 1" ports and the old radiator has 1.25" ports. What can I do to fix this? Anyone know where I can buy an adapter?

Just buy those clamp thingy....the one that looks like a ring and tighten as you screw in the nut.

^^OH man you're borded !

That's what I did too... just tighten it down to fit the 1" and it'll be fine.

sounds like you didn't get the dual core for the DOHC, you have gotten the SOHC radiator
