Looked through posts and could not find. Vintage Air has electric water valve, instructions describe which hose goes in and out but it instructs to use one on intake, well as we RB Mopar people know there is no intake water connection, then the serpentine system blocks one of the water pump openings, have learned that has been corrected now? finally to question> doesn't the water valve to heater block or open? so not sure how to route from from which opening on water pump? Help please :) thanks for any useful suggestions
 
Just look at the FSM in the heater section and it shows coolant flow. The fitting close to the pump is pulling coolant and the one rearward closer to the intake is the supply.
So arrow points towards the pump and arrow points away close to intake.

Pnora, yes if the drawing is accurate/That port is accessible that flows to the heater core, however the return is blocked by the spacer that attaches the CVF system is not, so hoping will not cause a problem. I have OEM water pump and trying to determine which ports are open in the housing to rear compartment vs front where impeller is. thanks so much for the help. Early B, which opening do you feel flows toward Heater core the front or rear? and thank you for the reply as well

Call the CVF people and see if they will correct their junk. Poor engineering at best IMO.

I used a right angle adapter and AN hose routed down and around. Not a big deal.
 
Return port is blocked as described, Have read where many have return going back into one of the two that are on top of water pump ?? any feed back on that, will see if a right angle will fit and turn as Hemirunner stated, thanks again to all

use 2 90's and 1 45, You may have to grind the spacer on the bottom to clear the fittings no big deal. that is what my photo shows
 
Thanks again, contacted CVF, now they have built the main bracket to allow the return to be used as should, grr 200$ for it. Shopping for 90s now, but can not get dimensions of to see if will rotate etc and not be too tall. Although he claimed a 90 came with the kit ??? Maybe it did ?? thanks again for the suggestions :)
