Replaced Heater Core and replacing heater hoses and new heater control valve. Bought car in pieces and do not know which hoses go where and if it makes any difference. I did notice the control valve is directional and assuming that the direction of coolant flow towards the heater core. Really need photo of firewall from that car. The heater core nipples are side by side on that model. My car has AC if it matters.
Sorry I can't give you a definite answer but as a general rule the coolant control valve will control the flow, supply or hot heater pipe that originates at the cylinder head or near the top of the engine.
Even though the heater matrix ******* are side by side they will usually be routed in the internal construction of the matrix to a high and a low position. It often makes little difference which way around the flow and return are fitted but one school of thought is to connect the flow to the top and the thermosyphon tendency will aid the flow and the other school of thought suggests if the flow is low to high any tendency to airlock will be reduced.
