Ok searching here and e30tech brought me no answers.
2 questions:
1st and probably easiest is which hose goes where? I just replaced the heater core on my car (non a/c, so it has the FML remove the dash type heater core with valve on opposing ends) and now i dont know which hose to attach to the upper and lower tubes coming from the heater core. They had been looped since i bought the car so nothing to go by.
there is one hose that comes from the driver side of the engine, metal pipe runs along the block underneith the intake manifold then rubber to the heater core
and the second hose comes from the pass. side of the car and has an aluminum valve setup on it then continues to the heater core input/output.
Which is top and which is bottom??
also the above mentioned valve thingy is an additional thermostat according to realoem.com. what is its purpose if i also have the other thermostat near the radiator?? is this only for getting heat into the car before the larger thermostat has opened?? or???
#1 in the pic is the additional thermostat, it is along the firewall above the bellhousing:
