Water Pump Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

soule64 · 08-23-2010, 01:01 PM

I was hoping someone might know off-hand which port is pressure and which is the return on an LS engine water pump. I finally got my AC working this weekend (Vintage Air) - works great at idle, but when under load it starts blowing warm air. My Classic Air did the same thing on the '68 and it ended up being the heater hoses being hooked up wrong. I was thinking this might be the same problem, but before I start spilling fluid everywhere I would ask.

Heater hoses? The 5/8" is supply, the 3/4" is return.

Why did the factory do this?

Thanks. Looks like I did it again - I installed the shutoff valve on the 3/4" side. Dang it. I should know better than that...
