Transmission coolant lines

OK, time to make fun of the new guy

"66" convertible. I took the engine and radiator out to have both redone. I marked all the vacuum lines and hoses, EXCEPT the two going to the radiator from the transmission.

Can someone tell me which line goes to which radiator connection?

If it was stock before you took it apart the lines will more or less line up properly. The rubber hose from the steel line into the radiator stock was only four inches long and given they are high and low on the tank......to bo honest it really don't matter if i was not an original setup. The fluid goes in one hole and comes out the other. There are no devices in the line or the tank to interupt flow.

Thanks "Ford blue blood" I was really going nuts over this. I marked/identified and removed all hoses/vacuum lines. Sand blasted and painted engine compartment. I bought all new under hood rubbber. As I was cutting the new hoses to length and labeling them, I realized that I had the two transmission lines (short rubber hoses) that go to the radiator with no indication of which line they went to.

So in summary, you say it makes no difference which goes to the top and which goes to the bottom connection on the radiator.
