Just replaced my heater core in my 1969. There is no A/C.  Rookie mistake as I cant remember which hose go where. Does the hose from the water pump to the core go on the top or bottom pipe? Does it matter? I'm new to this forum. Any help would be great

The hoses, and core fittings should be different sizes...5/8", and 3/4", iirc. Is yours not like that?

Thanks Dave! Sometimes I overlook the obvious easy things. BTW Like the color on your vette

I'm getting ready to do my heater core on a 73. I assume they are pretty similar.  I say a video on youtube of a guy replacing it form the engine compartment and NOT having to get to taking apart the dash. What did you do?
