Heater hose flush point
I'm the "new" owner of a 1998 C5, never had a Corvette before. I'd like to install a Prestone Flush Kit but can't figure out where and which heater hose to plug it in. Does anyone have a picture or a description of where to install it? I think I know which are the heater hoses but I'm not sure and don't want to make any fatal mistakes! Would really appreciate the advice.

I wouldn't install one of those.. ever.
Just more points for failure.
You can "flush" your heater core by just removing one of the hoses
and using a garden hose.
Then take of lower hose at radiator and/or hose at waterpump.
If you want to do a flush for some reason (neglected system). I would
just drain as much as possible. Fill with clean water, Drive for a day or so.
Then repeat.
