I am restoring a '54 3100 Chevy pick-up. Mind you this is my first project and I am completely green around an engine, so apologies in advance for the question I am about to ask.
I bought a new water pump and radiator. After installing it I now need to know where the 2 hoses from the heater connect. Does it matter which one goes to the pump and which on goes to the engine?
Thanks,

Pre - I think that is great advice...
Thanks again for the help. This is the last item before I get it running...I think. Is there ever a last item?! Looking forward to going for a ride after 18 months of figuring it out.
cheers,

Carlos,
Yes, there is often a last item before we get them running. The reality is that there will always be another item to deal with.
