Ayuh,... The Hottest water, at the greatest pressure is in the intake manifold, behind the T-stat...
You should have a 1/2" pipe plug in the cooling passage of yer intake...

The lowest pressure point available is into the 1/2" pipe plug in yer circulating water pump...
That's yer return point to insure Flow...
