Steve,
Sorry for the confusion.  Of course I was referring to "inlet"  and "outlet" 
with respect to the radiator.  I guess most people probably reference with 
respect to the engine instead.  Guess I need to turn 180 degrees and face 
the car.  Now let's see, which side of the engine is the right side and 
which is the left???
