Default Top or bottom line for Tranny Cooler?

I am installing my B&M tranny cooler tonight, and was wondering if I should tie into the bottom or top line coming off the radiator? I looked on SSHotrods.com, and it shows coming off the top line, but I saw in another thread to tie into the bottom. I guess what im asking is which is the return line to the tranny? Also, does the fitting simply unscrew from the radiator? It looks like there is some Kind of clip on the end of it. Thanks

I know that on the trans, it's the top. I think it runs to the top of the radiator...gotta look.

Top is the return. Yes, it does just unscrew from the radiator. But be careful, since the radiator has plastic sides.

Thanks guys. I ended up have to postpone it anyway, cause I forgot to get some teflon tape.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have the fluid go from top to bottom as much as you can, especially through a trans cooler. Pressure drop is a bitch
