Heater hose connection ?
Where do you hook your heater hoses to on the 454 engine. I have a Perfomer RPM Air manifold. Every thing is capped off and I forgot what the stock cast manifold connections looked like since the car had been apart for over two years (manifold was sold). I'm assuming I'll tap into one of the plugs at the front corner of the manifold. Where should I connect the other hose?

Also - running a Aerospace Engineering electic water pump (no intake manifold hose connection). Could / should I use the capped off manifold front plug that normally goes to the water pump???

BB guys? Any answers. In some pictures I see one of the hoses going to the waterpump (not an option with the aerospace pump) the other goes to the corner of the manifold (I can do that).

one on water pump, other on intake manifold next to water neck.
The connection on top of the water pump and below the water neck is for the bypass hose.
Water pump connection I believe is suction side. Could you somehow Tee it into the lower radiator hose?

My electric pump doesn't have a connection for the other heater hose, neither does my "stock" Edelbrock aluminum pump....... it has the lower hose connection and the connection for the manifold. I'm still not sure hoew to make this work.
