'59 Chevy 1/2 ton with deluxe heater. (235)
Trying to do the final button up stuff to hear the motor run for the first time.
Noticed heater core has two different size taps. Does it matter which one goes where on the water pump?

I don't think they're originally different sizes, but it does matter - see the installation setup in the accessory manual here, 3rd page in

I don't see anywhere on that page that refer to hose routing. I'm sure my truck is set up as it always has been. Inner tap for the heater core is 5/8 and the outer one is 3/4.
But, tap on the water pump and thermostat housing are for 3/4 hose.
I did install an earlier heater control valve. Since they are easier to ffindfrom the parts suppliers.
