radiator hose help

I figure I'll post this in this thread...
I'm having similar problems to OP. I have a 383 in a '70 Duster and I just installed a new 26" radiator. The problem is that the lower hose that was on the previous radiator (which was aftermarket but had no stamps or markings to identify the manufacturer) is now leaking while on the new radiator. There are no markings or part numbers on the lower hose either. I don't have any cool parts stores around by me that will let me rummage through their inventory of hoses in hopes of finding a match, so I figured I'd ask you fine folks. Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated...and don't worry - I would never even think of putting one of those universal pieces of garbage on my vehicle!
What size is the water pump and inlet?
Is the water pump a bigger diameter than the bottom port on the radiator?
