Need help with flushing my radiator.
Ok. Dont laugh. I bought the raditor flush kit from a popular auto parts store and will be flushing the rad, tonite. Since this is my first 351, i have no idea what hoses to cut. I know i need to cut the heater hose coming from the fire wall. Thing is, is that there are like 4 hoses coming from the firewall and two lead down toward the water pump. I cant see which one actually connects. HAs anyone done this on a 89 Bronco, 351W, 5.8.
Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have done it on my 89 302. On mine, there are 2 hoses coming from the upper firewall on the passenger side. I cut the one closest to the fender and spliced it in closer to the T near the throttle body etc...
Hope this may help you out.

What I meant was that I put the plastic piece from the flush kit as close to the front of the vehicle as I could so that when I started to flush it out, I wouldn't fill up my engine well with anti-freeze.
It probably doesn't really matter exactly where it goes though but that is what I did and it works great. I kind of aimed it towards the passenger fender so that when I fluch, it flows out and over into the driveway so that I can dilute it so that animals won't be tempted to drink if.
Does that make sense ?
