Default 1987 Radiator Question

Just got a replacement radiator for my California Spec 1987 Vanden
Plas. On preparing to switch out the radiators I found that the
repalcement lower hose attachment is different. The one in my car
has a t that connects to two hoses while the replacement unit only
has a single lower outlet. Hope this makes sense.

The two hoses being the radiator hose and a smaller hose attaching vertically, right ?

The single outlet radiator is probably from an earlier car....maybe '83-and-older or thereabouts

The smaller vertical pipe stub is for the coolant reservoir. You could make an adapter for the lower hose or get a radiator shop to swap lower radiator outlet pipes.
