gotta dumb rookie question for ya. I am going from a 89 305tbi rs to a 350 with edelbrock rpm intake, 1411 carb, the block is a 69-78 and the heads and intake are vortec. with headers NO EMMISSIONS. my question is what if anything do I need to do to make the coolant go through the heater core like it is supposed to. the little vaccume valve thing has been disconnected any help is appreciated. thank you.

 

A few picture of what it looks like now would help IMO.

 

ok i'll have to wait until i get ready to drop it in and take pics of it in the bay. I was hoping someone could help me find out what fittings/ports need to be used on the performer RPM intake for the correct flow.

I think it has to go out the radiator:through water neck:thru intakeut the intake into the heater core: out the heater core into the intake: through the block: into the water pump and back to the radiator (thru the big water hose out of the bottom of the pump)

but where/what ports in the intake do i use to go from the block to the to and from the heater core properly. I want to make sure that this thing is flowing correctly!!!

On mine I use one heater hose port off of the manifold which I believe is 5/8" and one off the water pump which is 3/4". Of coarse they go to my heater core the idea is big hose in smaller hose out keeps hot water in the heater core a little longer.

 

My water pump does not have the port I don't know how to connect the in and out for the heater core. What kind of water pump I have. (Advance auto remanned) please help!!!

 

Is there a plug in the water pump you could take out and put a fitting in? Does your manifold have two heater hose fittings? Does your radiator have a hose fitting on it?

 

water pump:
Driveworks Remanufactured Water Pump
Part No. 58-320 from advance auto

Intake: edelbrock 7116 performer rpm

Heater core: stock for a 89rs camaro

radiator: stock 89rs

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you!!!

 

if the water pump doesn't have a port on it, then hook that hose up to the nipple in the radiator tank right below the cap. if you don't have that nipple on the tank, then get a water pump that has the fitting on it- if you still have the serpentine setup, then get a water pump for an early 90's pickup or suburban, the parts jockey should ask you if you need one with a fitting or not. that hose will go to the heater core fitting closest to the center of the car, and should be the 3/4" hose. the other fitting on the heater core goes to the fitting on the passenger side of the intake manifold and it should be a 5/8" hose.

 

hey thx man! I wasnt sure but now I know for sure thx
