newbie question about thermostat bypass

[66newbie]

I am new to working on cars and I'd appreciate a little advice. I am also new to the forum so forgive me if I violate any etiquette... .

I have an 66 that I just got and the bypass hose was capped off. I am not sure why the'd do that unless they weren't running a heater. I do however plan on running a heater. Here is my question. How should the bypass be hooked up properly ? I have two hoses coming from my heater core going straight to the water pump that the previous owner did... I would assume I should run a hose from the bypass to the water pump...and one of the hoses should go back to the heater but how does the second heater hose hook up ? or does it.... ? Like I said I a new to all this and trying to learn. Appreciate any help... a picture would be nice but I will be happy with words of wisdom....lol

one comes off the intake manifold one off the water pump. so on the intake passenger side in front of the carb there should be a hole to connect to. if there is not an adapter then you need to get one. they are avail off most classic mustang sites.

Not to hijack the thread but my HEI distributor is RIGHT up against the hose going into my intake. The cap on that thing is so huge....anybody see a problem with that ? I might have to check to see if there are adapters that can get me away from the distributor.

Aslong as the hose is smug and you can tighten the clamp shouldnt be a problem.
