Using the diagram: 1. The upper radiator hose (ITEM "A"): Is the flow a. from radiator to block or b. From block to radiator From there I can conclude the lower radiator hose (ITEM "B") flow direction 2. The heater hose going from the water pump housing to the firewall(ITEM "D"): Is the flow a. from the water pump housing to the firewall or b. from the firewall to the water pump housing. Again, I can conclude the other heater hose (ITEM "C") direction also. This is not an exam. It is because I am stupid and never can remember which is which. Thanks.

the upper hose is out of the block and into the radiator.
on the heater hoses...I don't remember, but I'd bet that it was from water pump to the firewall...where does the other hose go again? whichever hose is closer to the upper radiator hose is probably the "out" flow to the heater core.
but then again, I would also think that the hose with the valve in it was the heater core supply side, but I suppose it doesn't really matter where the valve is on a closed loop system
unplug one heater hose and see which way the water is going with the engine idling and the hose end into a bucket.

I'm not a betting man. I'll wait for the definitive answer on the heater hoses.
Thank about the radiator hoses, though.

With all that bacon on your radiator I don't see how the engine won't over heat. Hey! No fair changing the picture mid-thread!

C should be the supply D should be the return Upper holes in waterpump housing supply the heads Lower holes in waterpump housing collect water from the block
Passenger side inlet from lower hose is common on C barges and is used in BB swaps when using an A engine radiator.

Upper holes in WP housing are the hot return from the block/heads thru a short 90 deg turn down from the head(s) at the front end(s) of the block. Bottom pair for cooled coolant pumped into the block
