51' 3100 Hookin up Heater hoses - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know how to hook up the heater hoses for a 51' 3100 with a 350 engine? here is a pic of the temp control, I am assuming the "hot" water hose will connect to the top of this thermostat (assuming that is basically what this is). Then the bottom of the temp control will have a hose connected to the "top" of the heater core. Then the bottom of the heater core will run to the water pump.

So I guess I need to figure out, where my "hot" inlet port would be on my intake manifold. Correct?

So I am going from manifold hot, to top of temp control, bottom of temp control to top of heater core, bottom of heater core to water pump?

also where would this copper line connect to? The intake? I am guessing it is used to determine temperature.

any help would be appreciated.
