Hi, this radiator has a integral vertical cooler. The 727 "to the cooler" line should go to the top cooler orifice or ?? Thanks, and buy,,"Made In U.S.A" We Always made the Best here. D.y
 
It doesn't matter to the trans or radiator either way, but in case you wanted to know the front line on the trans is fluid out and the rear one is fluid in.

Hi TB, thanks. we did know the front line was to the cooler but weren't sure if,, it really mattered if that line went to the top or bottom of the cooler it's self. We figured it didn't but,, once the lines are cut,, there cut. Thanks, D.y

not that it matters much but i'd wan't the trans fluid leaving the cooler at the coolest point.. that would probably be the bottom of the radiator.

Thanks ABJ, we'll take all that in to consideration. Ya it's a alum. radiator and the cooler orifices are,one on top the other on bottom oem was horizontal. After the radiator cooler it will go to a B+m cooler located in front of the radiator it's self. Running a rather loose converter and want to get the heat out. Thanks, D.y
 
If you have any type of seal problem for drain-back, which is common, you want the pressure line from the transmission (front fitting) going to the bottom port on the cooler.
That way after shutoff fluid won't drain back into the transmission and have to re-circulate after startup, resulting in a lighter shift at first which is in turn hard on the transmission.

Hi K, THAT,, is a Good point as we have experienced the "light shift" Thanks, Good info. D.y

It can/will drain back no matter which line or end of the trans it does it through.
