Where do these cooling lines go?
I'm putting my '85 back together and I need to know where two of the cooling lines go. They are the lines that connect to the foreward end of the two steel lines that run down the inside right wheel well. Obviously on one end they both run to the heater core but I am not sure where the opposite end connects to. The top line is larger in diamater and contains the water control valve. The lower line is smaller in diamater. I didn't take the car apart, and I don't have the original lines (!).
From what I can tell the larger diamater (bottom hose) will run from the cooling pipe to the large nipple on the water pump?? I cannot tell where the smaller, lower hose will go. Maby to the large nipple on the front of the intake manifold??
If it is of any concern I would like to perform the throttle body cooling bypass to keep the engine bay clean.

now... if I remember rightly... 
the line comes off the manifold, through the throttlebody, to the upper line.
into the heater core, out of the heater core and back to the water pump.
There is a T fitting, or might be, that goes over to the oil filter housing.
I THINK that's how it goes... It's been a while since I last checked into it.
