Routing water to intake manifold?

[Ron & Linda Jones]

I’m just full of questions tonight 🙂 I got a manifold for my single carb conversion but I’ve never seen a manifold that is water jacketed. Right now I have a hose going from the waterpump directly into the heater box. Looking at it it would seem that I’d want to take the hose comming from the water pump and route it to the manifold intake, then route the hose from the manifold outflow to the heater box. Is this the correct routing?
Thanks, again
Ron

The roots manifold had a water feed at the back of the cylinder head, it came through the manifold then out the front to a Y connector at the water pump!

Thanks for the info, George. I was putting the water pump back in and looked @ how the water system is routed. Is the inlet feed, to the rear of the manifold, comming from the heater, behind the firewall?

The feed comes from an outlet on the cylinder head! Not the heater hose
