Cooling System Plumbing Help | The De Tomaso Forums

Guys, I an in the process of setting up my new fluidyne radiator, SS cooling pipes etc. I have a few questions.

1. Where does the upper and lower Radiator fitings go to? Upper to left side etc. Please clarify.
2. Which pipe under the car goes to the water pump? Which side to the pressure tank?

Hope the questions make sense.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Upper hose fitting on the radiator goes to the left side coolant pipe. This pipe goes to the water pump.

Left side feeds the water pump, right side the pressure tank. My upper radiatior connection is the outlet feeding the water pump i.e left side.
