Do you by-pass it at the water pump or at the firewall?

Thanks.

Look where the two hoses go from the firewall. Make a u connecting the two pipes at the bottom of the hoses.

Leave the firewall pipes open. Hope I made sense.

Yeah, you made sense, but wouldnt it just be more practical to just do it at the water pump? or do the pipes from the water pump to the firewall also have other connections to parts of the motor?

Hope that made sense.
