Yes I think your correct I measured and used a coat hanger bent how I wanted the hose to run the measured the inlet and outlet and matched up one at the local Napa the lower is stock the water pump is reverse rotation and note I have not found a source for a correct gasket as the pump housing is different then a regular one so I made a gasket no big dealInteresting on the upper hose, I will pick up one. I assume for the 4.7 V8? Actually my Dakota has the rad cap in the upper hose, so different. Is that the Ford crank pulley? As I have said, you need the Olds 4.3 V6 diesel water pump for the sbc set up to work. I am buying Larry's setup and I am stealing the idea for the crank pulley alignment from the other guy, what comes around, goes around.
