HEATER HOSES 700 1987

These are excerpts from the FAQ.

"[Pete Fluitman] Check the heater hoses, I have seen several 700's where they are swapped over and it results in ZERO heat. The one connected to the side of the block is the hot water feed. It goes to the TOP BULKHEAD OUTLET VIA THE HEATER VALVE. The hose connected to the metal pipe on the manifold is the return, it sucks the cold water out from the lower outlet."

"Install the new valve and tighten the clamps. [RMagoo] The valve goes between the heater hose connected to the short pipe coming out the cylinder head and the HEATER HOSE ENTERING THE BOTTOM TUBE of the firewall connector . The arrow on the valve points toward the firewall. The top heater hose goes to the red pipe behind the head leading to the water pump."

My question is which is correct? Is the heater valve connected to the top heater core outlet or the bottom heater core outlet?
