The double pass radiator increases= the=20 efficiency of the radiator by about 50%.
You have tanks on both sides. One side = has a=20 partition in the tank with the inlet at the top and outlet at the=20 bottom.
The coolant flows across the top half o= f the=20 core into the non-partitioned tank then back across the lower half back to = the=20 partitioned tank and out the outlet.

That= 9;s the way I went with a custom Ron Davis radiator.

With a dual pass design (tanks top and bottom) what would be the advan= tage=20 of inlets and outlets on the bottom -vs- the top in a case with the water p= ump=20 above the top of the radiator?

In both cases their would be=A0a vent line to the swirl pot from the t= op=20 tanks.
