If you're talking about where there other end connects on the motor, its to the steam pipe on the top of the heads in the valley

u dont have to modify the water pump i just cut out a section of upper radiator hose right in front of the radiator took a pipe that fit inside iit real well about 4 inchs long then drilled and welded a smaller pipe perpendicular to the bigger pipe right in the center of the 4 inch pipe. then just ran a rubber hose for the steamline from the crossover tube to the upper radiator hose. its much easier and doesnt risk messin ur pump up from metal shards
