Default Prestone Flush and Fill

1st: I'm a newb
2nd: I used the search function and came up short
3rd: I drive a 91 lx 5.0 AOD with some bolt-ons, intake, headers, exhaust, etc.

I was looking at my coolant and it definately had some rust in it. I drained it from the radiator drain on the lower passenger side. I filled it back up with water twice and let it drain until the fluid coming out was clear. I'm going to use some prestone super flush to clean it up a bit before adding my coolant.

While I was buying the coolant I bought the Prestone Flush and Fill kit. I've never used one and I have no idea where to look for the hose that I'm supposed to splice into. Has anyone used this kit before, and if so were you pleased? Can anyone point me to the right hose?

The flush kits fit in one of the heater
hoses. That go to the firewall.
What I like to do to flush out the old
stuff is open the radiator top and bottom
and add a running garden hose while the
car is running.
The flush kit is a little more effecient
and faster.
Good luck.
Do not make the hose pressure at all
very high.
