Re: coolant hose routing ?
I just run the water pump to the sides it points to right side to right side radiator etc.. as for the steam line which is the reverse cooling section from the heads there is a fourth gen upper radiator hose that has a small line that runs into the main hose, I am not sure which one but it is posted on here and a search will dig it up.. or someone will chime in, or you can go to autozone etc. and look at the different year hoses and find one that has a small line branching off it.
I run an aluminum radiator with an AN fitting welded on which in turn runs to the steam line to return the coolant from the heads but it doesn't matter so long as it gets returned to the radiator somehow, DO NOT plug it off.
