Heater and water pump hoses

[428 Tbird]

I have a 1966 Thunderbird with the 428 engine and A/C. How were all the heater hoses and water pump hoses connected from the factory. I bought the car and it had no hoses and I want to put it back the way it came from the factory but I have no idea how the hoses were originally connected? Were does the hose from the water pump connect? And were does the 2 hoses that come off the intake connect? What hoses connect to the valve under the hood hinge? And there is a nipple in the firewall above the starter what connects there? Can somebody please help.
Thanks,
Gary

Starting with: Were does the hose from the water pump connect? One hose from the water pump goes to the bottom of the radiator. Another hose (5/8") should go to the intake manifold. Second: And were does the 2 hoses that come off the intake connect? I assume you mean water hoses. Where are these hoses on the intake? One would be the heater hose at the front of the intake. I don't know where the other is. Third: What hoses connect to the valve under the hood hinge? I'll assume you refer to the water valve on the RH spring tower. The bottom one from the heater core, the other hose goes to the water pump. Four: a nipple in the firewall above the starter I think you have found the condensate drain for the AC.

My car has a double nipple that connects to the intake right at the thermostat or at the radiator supply tank. I think one of these is supposed to go to the carburetor spacer and the other connects to the heater core. My car with the 428 does not have a carburetor spacer and I'm not sure if it came with one or not? Anybody out there with a 428 does your car have one as I know the 390 cars came with one? I was told by a thunderbird parts dealer yesterday afternoon that the 5/8" hose off the water pump goes straight to the heater valve and then the bottom nipple on the heat valve goes to the heater core. Does this sound correct ?

Sounds correct to me..
