okay, i thought i had **** all figured out, but i didnt, started filling the rad and all of a sudden, coolant gushing out of the red circled area on the pic.

where should this be connected to?

 

and then, is this right?

see attached pic

 

can i just block this off? with some hose with a bolt in it?

 

you've got it a little backwards. The one on the bottom of the engine goes over to that line on the firewall (the one going into the heater core) while the one out of the top of the cooler goes to the hard line on the passenger side of the car, the 83-85 cars have a T on the top of that hard line. You can get that hard line, or just **** the beehive oil cooler and get the air style one that is better anyway.

 

oh, and if you want to put the 83-85 style hard line in just to make things easy on yourself I have an extra you can have if you come get it.

 

so, the one on top of the cooler goes to the other heater core line via a T? and then that goes into the bottom radiator fitting?

 

yep, you got it

 

so tomorrow when i go get my cap and rotor, i'll pick up a lenghth of heater hose, a T-fitting of the proper size, and some hose clamps

run the block fitting to the heater core, and the top of the oil cooler to the T i will install in the line from the other side of the oil cooler.... damn thats a pain in the ***.

 

ditch the oil cooler and use the SA style air to oil one. MUCH better. Then you avoid this whole mess. OR you could get that hard line from me and keep your car from looking like hack job. its up to you.
