Ferrari Mailing List: 328 radiator flush

[JAMES CUNNINGHAM (vikelj]

I am going to flush my coolant.  I purchased one of those flush 
kits.  I am supposed to attach it to an inlet (to engine) 
hose.  There are two hoses attached to the coolant tank.  The smaller 
hose is on top of the tank and the larger hose is right under it at 
the bottom of the tank.  Which of these is an inlet hose or is 
there  another accessible hose that is an inlet hose?  When I looked 
at a diagram, it appears that the upper hose is the inlet hose but 
before I cut the hose, I want to make sure.  I also intend to take 
the thermostat out so that I don't have to start the engine and keep 
it hot to get complete circulation of the water.  If the bottom hose 
is the outlet hose from the radiator to the coolant tank, can I just 
take that hose off at the tank and let the coolant run out from there 
into a bucket.  Thanks for any help.
Also, since I never use the A/C, I would like to take the condenser 
off from in front of the radiator.  How can I go about taking the 
condenser off so that straight air reaches the radiator rather than 
go through the condenser?  Are there any web site which show how to 
do it? Thanks
Jim
