1994 Transmission cooler lines

[DonLawson84]

Purchased my first 1994 Bronco,  the guy did a temp bypass on the cooler lines so the fluid did not leak when parked.  towed it home and going to purchase the hard lines you can bend by hand, some connectors and straps.  my dilemma, The old lines are not there, not sure which line goes to bottom and which to top.  I would imagine you want return to trans at bottom.

Which line coming off trans is supply? which return?

What size / type of thread is on the radiator?

any other input that may help me as well

Radiator Installation in a 92

"Here you will need a 5/8 and a 1/2 inch line wrench.

The key is to hold the 5/8 still while taking the smaller one off.

I thought that the bigger 5/8 part needed to come out so this was 45 minutes wasted.

Had I looked at my new radiator first, it would have saved me a lot of aggravation "
