heater hose connections on water pump
heater hose connections on water pump
Ok i checked shoeboxes website and found the coolant line diagram but it didnt show where to connect the lines to. Now there are 3 nipples coming from the waterpump. What do they all go to? I would figure two are for heater core lines but what is the third for??. Could somebody clarify this for me? I need to know what line comes off the waterpump and goes where.

The radiator hose diagram shows the third hose.
Re: heater hose connections on water pump
The 3rd hose is the 'bypass' hose' goes to radiator [or oil cooler if so equipped'']
See:
http://shbox.com/1/lt1_water_pumps.jpg
Showing the difference between the various LT1 pumps.[ Note that the F body pump is the only one with the 3rd hose.]
The upper left in the pic is the 5/8 hose, the lower left is the 3/4 hose, and the smaller one on the right is the bypass hose.
If you need a pump, and are doing a swap[it's in an S10 right?] to use a regular radiator, get a B or Y body pump.Note in the pics that they do not have the bypass hose. Makes a swap a lot simpler.

#7 is the 5/8 hose # 12 is the 3/4 hose.
