heater hose routing

[SteveO_71]

I've seen a few posts related to this subject but nothing seemed really consistent or they were for a AC car.

In the assembly manual it looks like the heater core right side goes to the water pump fitting and the left side goes to the engine fitting.

Then I came across this engine pic (below) of a Boss 351 and it looks opposite.

Heater core right side to engine and heater core left side to water pump?

Would anyone happen to have the latest description ( or pic ) of how the heater hoses go on a NON AC, 71 351c car?

Which one is correct???

Thanks!

On mine the upper heater core (the one closest to the engine) goes to the water pump.

Thanks Don! Thats the way I was leaning towards doing it. Looks like they have it wrong on the Boss.

All the crap I took for painting my engine "the wrong blue" (Duplicolor "Old Ford Blue" vs. "Corporate Blue"), and nobody's going to say anything about this? Really?! :chin:

lollerz :whistling:

OK, Just for you:

To the OP:

For the love of god how can you put heater hosed on wrong like you did. You must sell the car (to me cheap) to atone.

YOU SIR ARE A DISGRACE......

Heater hose, schmeater hose. I was talking about the obvious lack of Corporate Blue on that engine as well. :shootself:

Thanks for the solidarity, though. ::beer::

Actually they do mention that the engine has the wrong engine color.

That issue plus wrong heater hose clamps should result in a lower asking price. Sheeshh

Here is the link to the car in case anyone wants to read.

I'd be interested to hear peoples thoughts related to the condition and price they are asking.
