In regards to installing a transmission cooler like the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler part # D13503, you will need to identity the return line. In order to do this, take a few short laps around the block and then grab one of the two transmission hoses feeding the radiator. The cooler of the two hoses will be the return line.
Please note, for GM applications you'll also most likely need the Derale Snap-In Radiator Adapter Fitting part # D13035.
