D.Hearne said:It runs just the opposite, from the intake thru the heater core then back to the pump, not that it really matters, the core will function with the coolant flowing in either direction.
It may matter in the case of a shut off valve, but if you put it in either hose, and run the motor long enough, the coolant in the heater will eventually reach the same temp as the rest of the cooling system. That's one reason why I advocate using a shut off in both heater hoses. The other reason is , if your heater core springs a leak, you can isolate it from the rest of the system and continue on your merry way and fix the leak later. And heater cores DO spring leaks, seen it happen TOO many times. Sometimes happens when the engine is rev'd up higher than normal, the pressure goes up higher than the core will stand.Cdaniel said:Ah ha! A controversy now!. Apparently it does matter, at least that's what the guys a Classic Auto Air claim. I'm not inclined to believe that having the water control valve on one side or the other matters when it comes to the fact that my vent temp is 60 degrees. But I thought I'd try it. I'm leaning to the notion that their valve sucks and doesn't really shut flow off completly. But that's just my ignorant opinion.
