Heater Hose routing?

[MrSony]

Rooted around on Blake442s 3.8-Buick350 swap thread, and it indeed shows the rightmost hose going to the intake with the heater valve, and the leftmost hose with the special bend in it (the one I have on the car left over from the V6) going to the water pump. Thanks for all you're input guys! I'll post on this thread again if I run into any snags.

Mine is plumbed for a Small block Chevy It is still the same if you have a heater. 5/8's to the heater valve. 3/4 to the water pump or intake .

Did you mean 3/4 to water pump or radiator?

have you ever tested it to see if it works? 😀

Update: it works, but not well. My blower motor only has one speed and I'm not getting a lot of air flow. Do I need to have that vacuum ball hooked up to the pink line and a line to the intake?

where are you getting the airflow and does it change if you change the setting?. There is a connector near the front passenger side valve cover that has a 10 gauge read wire. That wire feeds the high speed of the blower.

only place getting flow is the top windshield defrost vents in the dash. It doesn't change from vent to vent going from heat, to vent, to defrost, etc. It only shuts off and on. And the fan speed switch on the left only has 1 setting out of the what.. 4? That turns it on, no other fan speeds work. The heat worked on all settings, as well as the AC before the motor swap.

do you have the vacuum hooked up to the manifold

Nope. Don't have the vacuum ball, ran out of money. I'm thinking that's my only problem. Pink line to canister, then run a line from the other nipple to a vacuum tee on the intake. Manifold vacuum, right?
