Hi Mike,

Check out this link to the old car manual project. Look at Figure 100 on page 38.

Good luck,

You bet!

Here's a written format from SB:

Heater hose placement schematic
Hose from the water pump goes to heater(PS).
Hose from thermostat goes to control valve(closest to firewall).
Hose from control valve(closest to front), goes
to heater(DS)
