The way you have your belt is correct for the reverse flow. It isn't slipping as the rpms go up on the waterpump is it? Regardless, you should have flow with the thermostat open if it is turning. Does it have a truck radiator in it that is downflow or has someone installed a crossflow unit?
Also check to make sure that it isn't sucking the bottom hose together restricting flow.
EricJ, You are correct on the timing chain covers, Must be the pain meds from my broken finger that I just had pinned causing brain failure

hah i tend to mispell when im typing fast but i thought it was weird that the old water gauge on the dash is working with the new sensor in the engine. put it this way its the sensor from the 5.0 and its working on a 32 Y/o Gauge

Actually, it was at work where it belonged when I smashed it 2 months ago. It got caught between a heavy cover and a belt pulley. I didn't even know it was broken until a couple of weeks ago when I had it x-rayed because I thought it might have had some calcium build up because it was still pressure sensitive and had a lump on top. Turns out that the lump is actually a bone chip so they went in and reset the chip and pinned it. Man is it sore and feels like it is as big around as my leg right now.
So, is the water circulating like it should now? A large air pocket perhaps?
