Subject: help identifying send/return in '85 at cooling system

Hi,

I have the old engine out, don't remember what it used to look like, didn't
take pictures because I wasn't putting the old engine back in :).

I don't know which of the coolant line goes to, and which leads from, the
radiator:

This is an 85 auto westy, those are the stainless steel replacement lines.

Thanks for any help!
