Default Trans cooler....

I have a B&M Super Cooler I'm fixing to install. Is this the correct way to do it?

Run the top line on the radiator to the cooler and then return out of the cooler into top of the radiator. Mount the cooler in front of the A/C condenser.

If I remember correctly it is the opposite. It is installed on the return line which is the bottom on my 91'

There seems to be mixed opinions on this. The more post I read the more confused I get. I was under the impression the top line is the return line on my '96.

That is why I identified my year. Feel the lines up to temp and you should be able to tell.

The cooler one is the return.
