I HAVE HAD A REVELATION!!!!! I was standing around looking at the engine trying to think, think, think. I dragged out my old hoses because I saved all stuff from the blazer before the rebuild, you know Foghorn Leghorn..."Fortunately I keep ma feathers numbered for just such an emergency!" I have a lot of useless crap that will get thrown out after the build but I cannot tell you the number of times the old stuff has provided me clues to what questions I had at the time. Got out the old hoses and could even tell where they had been based on the marks made by the fittings, sounds goofy but you all have done it and know what I mean. I then remembered that this blazer had an aftermarket engine block warmer! THAT'S IT! Explains the hose at bottom of engine and fitting at top of pump. So I guess my next question is I guess I just seal both with brass fittings, right? I mean the top of the pump is kinda obvious but the block fitting... Any ideas.. Wow I do love this forum!
