Pinto Water Pump Hose Connection
TKPM - 9/12/12 at 05:34 PM

Hi,

This is my first post, so be gentle lol.

I'm on the final part of fitting all my cooloing hoses to my 2L Pinto Haynes Roadster, but i'm a bit lost on one hose.

The small take-off on the water pump, used to go to the heater matrix, but i'm not using a heater and my Weber inlet manifold dosen't have a water connection. Do i need to fit a take-off to the inlet mainfold or can the pipe go somewhere else.

Terry

Look how RichardK has piped his up

He has a pipe coming from the 5/8in on water pump to bottom of the header tank and a small pipe going from the top of the header tank to a tee that goes to the small pipe on the water pump and to the rad cap

I ran mine round to the inlet manifold with a T off to the header tank.
