The first 6 months or so of original Ultra had cooler in bottom radiator tank but for whatever reason it must have had problems or leaked so was short lived. Kits were issued to move to the pump location and it stayed there. I agree that it doesn't seem to be the most efficient way to cool but Packard must not have seen it that way. Actually, when you consider many auto trans of the era had no cooling other than air passing over fins on the converter, guess it was an improvement.
