looking at fitting my rad tommorow eve and im thinking i need some guidance to plumbing it all up.....

i have a 2.0 pinto.....no heater matrix to worry about, just the rad, header tank and intake manifold to suss.....my water pump has a large outlet (to bottom of rad) and a small outlet (to inlet manifold and bottom of header tank?)
then thermosat housing to top of rad??

am i some where close?

ta

boggle

yep very close with mine ive got the pipe from the thermo house going to the expansion bottle inlet at the top

the small pipe coming out of the water pump usually is used to supply the heater matrix but if your not using that then it should be connected to the water inlet on the inlet manifold instead to keep that warm. The large pipe coming of the thermostat housing is the hot side and goes to the top of the rad. The cold bottom rad connection goes back to the water pump.
