Default Radiator Hoses to/from block to heater core

I just replaced my heater core, remounted the radiator overflow tank (I think that's what it's called) and im putting the hoses back on the heater core.

What Im not sure about is which hose goes on the top nipple of the heater core. My thinking is that the coolant flows from the storage tank into the block, out from the block into the heater core from the BOTTOM and then out to the storage tank from the TOP.

Can anyone confirm this for me???

It will be a lot easier to help you if you fill in your profile. What year do you have? There are differences over the span of C-4's.

I just checked my profile and I show it's a 92 lt1 Couple hard top ... maybe I need to fill this out in another place but that's the only link that I could find.

I appreciate the input ...

Is always better to mention the year / engine / trans when asking a question because some of us can't be bothered going in to check your profile in order to provide the correct info
