Which way does the coolant run through the radiator?
Is the top hose out of the engine and the bottom hose into the engine?
I'm just assuming since the bottom hose connection has an electrical plug in the block next to it, which I assume is the thermostat.
Anyone know for sure?

Rep Power: 315 bottom goes into the engine via water pump...pumped up and out the top through the thermostat when it gets hot enough for the thermostat to warm up.
You can feel when it opens up and you can see it if you start the car from a cold
start and watch the engine temp gauge. You will see it jump just below midway.
good luck
