replacement radiator with no heater core barb?
i got a replacement radiator with for free (cant beat the price so i took it since mine had a hole) and it hooks up all fine except on the passenger side below the filler neck there is no heater core hose barb to hook up the heater core hose? any ideas of how to get around this? which side of the radiator could i splice this hose into to get coolant into my heater core (pressure or return side)

the heater core to the rad??? Are you getting confused with the transmission cooler lines that splice into a rad??? I personally have never seen a heater core hooked to a rad. They usually hook to the water pump and sometimes the block or intake manifold for the other line. If you hook up to the tranny cooler lines then there will be no circulation of coolant as the tranny cooler in the rad is separated from the rad itself.

all camaros, from about 85 ish, had !heater hose from the intake and one to the rad
you will need tp splice into the same side as the stock locatoin

and, as you can see, no place for hose on water pump(have heard some aftermarket pumps have a port)

I have an 85, and there is NO hose that goes from the rad to the heater core. I had to block off that hole.
