Heater Hoses

[SFBay‘72Duster]

So I would like to flush out my heater core and replace the hoses. I’m going through my entire cooling system.
I just want to confirm that the line to the heater core from the top of the intake manifold is the inlet, and the line from the water pump is the outlet. Thank u!

I found this for the 5.9's & 5.2's, and used it today to hook-up the Vintage Air heater valve on a resto-mod I'm doing for a buddy. I'm sure a similar search will result in a similar diagram for whatever motor your doing.

Just curious, is there a wrong way to hook it up? I would think that the heater core doesn't care which way the water goes through.

The idea is to reverse flush it to get as much crap as possible removed.

I know that, the OP mentioned getting the hoses on correctly. Is there a wrong way?

On my Darts the hoses are different sizes (diameter)...

Yes, up to 73 I think it was, one was 1/2 inch and the other 5/8, they were both 5/8 after the change.

I don't think it makes much difference.
