Ernest,

One hose goes to a nipple that comes out of the block near the 
thermostat. The other is connected to a nipple on the water pump. 
Both are tupically for 5/8" heater hose.

Hope that helps!

As for the radiator issue, some cars have a small tube that runs from 
the top of the radiator back to the pressure tank in the engine 
compartment. Idea is to automatically bleed trapped air in the 
radiator. My car has it also.

Regards,

Kirby
