Red: Exactly, heat rises and it doesn't matter which way you hook them heat still rises. The direction that came with the heaters I used recomended doing as I suggested in my earlier post. They also recomended hooking to ports near the center of block, especially on 6 cylinder engines. That was 30 years ago, so no doubt there may be different systems and directions today.

I do know of a situation, where one of these heaters was hooked into hoses to the rad top and bottom. It never did anything but heat the coolant in the rad. I never saw it, so can't say which way they had it hooked up. They came to see how my heaters were hooked up, and were very surprised to find engine block warm. My heaters worked very well, and with a diesel it only makes sense to have the hottest coolant in the head.
