Default Basic Heater Hose Questions

OK, these may be dumb...sorry!

I'm going to replace the old heater hoses on my '74 Firebird, and I'd like to install a shutoff valve (just in case the heater core would start to leak).

What direction is the coolant flow to the heater? I'd like to install the valve on the inlet hose, of course. It seems like it would come from the back of the engine into the heater and return to the water pump, but I might be all wet. HA!

Finally, what size is the heater hose to the water pump? The other one looks like a standard 5/8" hose, but the water pump one seems larger.

Thanks!
