Craig,
The pump is pulling up cold water from the bottom of the radiator. The rad
hose connection on a conventional pump is always the inlet.

I think you can buy them either direction from Ford or Mr. Gasket.

There is some variance there. Best to measure the hardware that you are
going to use.

In a conventional cooling system, hot water goes in the top of the radiator,
cool water is pulled out of the bottom by the water pump. It makes sense
because convection will naturally assist w/ the flow of coolant.
