lower radiator hose help

Ok just putting the finishing touches on this rebuild and I can't figure out the old configuration of how the LOWER radiator hoses interact with the auto trans oil cooler...? I cut them upon dis-assembly and now can't figure out how they go back...I have SCOURED the search function and google images for a proper shot and can't find what I need!

Please help!

It's pretty intuitive as furthest right to right and left to left.

In general the pressure hose (the one that feeds that feeds the cooler) will go on the bottom a nd return on top.

It shouldn't matter. They are just going straight through a hollow tube (on these radiators) and out the other end. The above poster is right if it's a crossflow rad just because you don't want to fight gravity. Long story short.......whatever is easiest for you to route,it shouldn't matter.

not sure what the confusion could be as I remember it being a pretty straight shot. just make sure you have this hose (see pic below) in place from the timing cover.

if I remember right on my 3.0 auto (is that what we're working on?) the upper hose goes to the passenger side of the rad and the lower hose goes to the drivers side.
