On the TR6 spin-on filter adaptors with the hoses to a remote oil cooler does
anyone know which hose is the output to the cooler and which is the return
from
same?  I have one on my TVR with a bypass thermostat in the lines and I want
to plumb in an Accusump for use in high speed events but I don't remember if
the output line is the upper hose or the lower as the adaptor is mounted on
the
engine.  

I suppose I could remove the thing but someone out there has one handy or a
better memory than me.  Also- does the oil flow from the pump to the filter
or
the cooler first?  I suspect it would go to the filter first to keep dirty
oil out of
your cooler.  Is this "flow" chart correct:

pump>>outside of filter>>inside of filter>>oil cooler>>block>>pan>>pump
