The two small tubes coming out of the water pump go to the heater core.Mustang30240 said:my brother in law is putting a 302 from a lincoln in his 66 stang, he used a new waterpump ment for a lincoln for the project, but he has an edelbrock intake, so the 2 tubes coming off the water pump we are lost as to where there going to go. Does he need a water pump off of a different year motor or what?
what if you reversed the 2?D.Hearne said:On all small block water pumps, the two small nipples: the upper one goes to the thermostat housing-bypass nipple. The lower one is routed to one of the heater hoses.
Nothing, other than having to deal with trying to route the hoses across each otheriskwezm said:what if you reversed the 2?
damn,thought i found a possible fix for a hot running engineD.Hearne said:Nothing, other than having to deal with trying to route the hoses across each other
I have the be cool 2 row stock size.My buddy is telling me to cut the core support and out in a 5.0 radiator,because his car struggles to get above 150-160*(very built 289,11 second car).My car ran at 180 in 70* temp to a cruise and then reached 210 when i got there.D.Hearne said:Those 2 small nipples are both inlets to the pump, they both serve the same function. With all the mods and motor you've got, you need the largest radiator you can fit in there, along with the airflow needed to transfer the heat. I don't know what radiator you've got, but you've got a big block power-producing motor in a car that had marginal cooling even with the small block radiator they came with.
Nothing weird about that, one heater hose goes into the top of the water pump, the other into the top of the intake. The coolant flows from the intake to the heater, then out to the waterpump.67wildcat said:Thats weird on my 1967 289 cougar the hose that is supposed to go to the heater is going to the top of the intake manifold. Is this normal? I just bought the car so I dont know the history. Note: I dont have a heater or A/C
