Having problem visualizing your hose (flow direction) configuration..... so I'll try to explain mine...

From the lower radiator fitting - hose to water pump INLET

(Water pump pushes water into block, up through heads, to intake manifold.)

From intake manifold (thermostat housing) hose to upper radiator fitting.

One or two small diameter outlets on water pump are for the bypass hose (small 'J' shaped hose from pump to intake manifold) and heater input (if equipped).

If your flow is backwards from the way I explained it, than you may have a 'reverse' rotation water pump installed, or you are turning your pump backwards........ either way you'are not going to properly cool your motor.
