Default Coolant Passages

Hey guys, lookin for a lil insight, i've got some coolant & vacume leaks on my swap. So this might be an on-going thread for a lil while.

The top radiator hoes goes into the port on the head.. but on my head there is a a smaller (looks like 5/16th maybe) port that comes out of the upper radiator port, pointing back twords the firewall at a downward agnle. where exaxtly is that supposed to be routed to?

if a picture is needed i can provide one later on tonight.

Some pics would help. What engine is it D-series? I had the same problems with my swap. I had to swap over the coolant tube on the block to match my chassis.

it's a b18a

why on earth would u have to swap the coolant tube to match your chassis, a coolant system is self contained on the engine other than the radiator & the heater core, that makes no sence!

On my D15 there were two nipples on the of the coolant tube, on my D16Y7 there was only one. Two hoses and 1 nipple... U do the math. I could have gotten a 'T' fitting but i couldn't find one to fit so I changed the tube over. Everything plugged in: done.
