LT1 Third gen rad problem
I've read on the forums that you can "T" the line from the steam pipe with the overflow and run one hose into the top of the rad. My problem is the overflow fills up and spills over and the radiator empties. The rad cap is not allowing fluid into the radiator. How would I get around this problem? Thanks.

I already got a 94 Corvette lower rad hose, would it be okay to T the steam pipe into the return line for the heater core?

I just looked up the hose you mentioned, I'll have to see if I can find it from a local supplier. Thanks.
