88ish Crown Vic water pump. is the way the heater hoses connect different than my 74? I have no restrictions in the line, but I have no flow. Water flows freely from the port on the intake, flows from the water pump, I took a water hose and force water through the heater core and hoses, no restrictions there. The heater hoses do not get warm, very slowly you can feel warmth travel up the hoses, 10 minutes it is still comfortable to touch.
