Heater Core Help!

I've just finished replacing the heater core in my 1980 F-100, and i don't know which of the water hoses go into which inlet/outlet on the new heater core. When i bought the truck the heater core was by-passed and i did'nt even think about it untill just now. Any help would be great.

It doesn't really matter, especially with a new core. On an old core it's possible it might start leaking if coolant flow was reversed. But you should have no problems either way.

All of the ford vehicles that I have and have looked at today are the same. The hose off of the pump goes to the far passenger side of the core. The one from the block goes to the other.
Just thought I'd go look at a few.
Brown 4x4 is certainally right though. I see no problem either way with the new core.
