Okay, first off I searched but couldn't find an answer so here it goes.
I picked up a 305 TBI engine out of a 1991 RS with the serpentine belt set up. I am converting it to a carb set-up, but I need to know how to set up the coolant lines properly. The water pump does not have a heater hose bung. I have an Edelbrock intake manifold with a water cross-over line at the back by the distributor, and there is a bung for a hose nipple. Do you route one heater hose from the front nipple by the thermostat to the heater core, and the other line at the back of the head to the other port on the heater core? The alternative is to just by a standard rotation pump and v-belt pulleys, but I really don't want to sink money into doing that when I have good parts to begin with.
Thanks in advance for any help
