Re: Clay’s Wedgewood Blue FB Ute

I'm a bit puzzled with the heater pipes. They usually have one hose coming off the water pump inlet to create the flow. Is there a decent flow in and out of the thermostat housing? that's how i always do it, it also has some cooling benefits if other end is mounted in the rear of head as it pulls i...
