I am replacing my radiator on my 1966 GMC truck 305 V6, the new radiator is pretty much a good fit however the bottom radiator male connector that goes into the bottom hose female radiator side is 1 3/4 inches and the female hose that it goes into is 2 inches. A 1/4 inch play between the two. My question is will my screw circular hose clamp tighten and bring them together enough to make a good seal...

I do not want to try and ruff up the hose and not be able to return it if it don t work.
