The fitting for it just under the rad cap? If you don't have a cap, get one. A year would help. The older ones used a tank on the firewall.

Depending on what year and model you're asking about... For a '96 XJ your new radiator should've had a small nozzle just below where the cap screws on. That's where the hose connects to the radiator so it can move the coolant between the radiator and the reservoir tank.
See the top left, that little piece of plastic sticking out from just below the top of the radiator filling neck? That's where the hose attaches to.
Post up some more info so you can get a specific response.

I figured it out there is a difference in radiators, there are open looped radiators and closed looped the closed looped reservoir tank holds pressure the open loop doesnt and the closed looped radiators dont have a radiator cap at all so u have to fill it through the reservoir tank so i went and boight an open looped
