How is cooling water fed into a Flathead on the dyno?

All the engine needs is a connection for water to come in and one for it to go out. A Flathead has two water pumps, one on each side, but the dyno provides only one cooling water connection, so Steve had a manifold fabricated that feeds the inlet on each side. He notes that the ARDUN conversion does not change this part of the cooling system.
