You want it to flow up so it will blow out any air bubbles

Another way to tell is that the inlet and outlet are different sizes: one is 5/8" and the other is 3/4". Match the heater core to the corresponding size nipples on engine/water pump/radiator and you're set.

If only life would remain this simple


The P/O has upgraded both hose’s & fittings to match ¾” .
Not sure the gain here, if any ?
