Coolant flow route
Does someone have a flow chart for coolant on a chev engine? (old school)
How could my engine run for 10 min in the morning, and not move the temp gauge? It seems like I might have my hoses routed wrong or something. I have a new thermostat and my engine runs at normal temps once it is warm. It just seems very slow to warm.
Heres how my hoses go. Starting at lower radiator hose then to waterpump. From waterpump to heater core and heater core to nipple on manifold (Victor Jr.) next to thermostat housing. Then thermostat housing to top radiator hose. That's it. Any suggestions?
