last year i had mine crack on me while i was on the road. so i had to get a generic one for a fast fix. i know the oem ones are restricted at one end. does the restrcicted part go towards the core or towards the manifold?

i will be putting this in tomarrow.

thanks, matt

I wish I could remember. When you take your's out, look at how it orients. And I'm pretty sure even the cheapest aftermarket one has a little arrow on it. That's the flow direction. It would point to the heater core (right side) of the car. The "T" is the heater control valve.

Yep, the arrow direkted towards the passanger side.

I am not recommending this as a fix for anyone else but, I replaced a broken tee with one from my local hardware store. I epoxied a metal washer of the same size of the restricion in the broken one inside the new tee. Two years later, no problems. Everything works great.
