Agreed. Most new radiators use the fittings. Surprised that they didn't come 
with the radiator.

Thanks, Dan

They sell fittings with the male pipe threads on one end & the female flared
on the other end, just buy the fittings & you don't have to do any cutting
or flairing.

Simply cut off the flares, slide on the male ends and re-flare. You may

already have the male ends on the lines they have just slide down the lines.

You may also buy premade ends that can be spliced on to the old lines with a

coupler. Any trans shop, brake or radiator shop can do it for you.

Hi Guys,

 

My '65 Chevelle got a new radiator from Kragen/O'reilly today and since they

 

don't list a '65 three-row, I bought a '66 three-row. Mechanically, it

works. But. . .

 

My '65 trans cooler lines have flare ends, like brake lines.

 

The '66 radiator has female pipe threads, should it be that way?

 

Is there an easy solution?

 

Thanks,

Dennis

'65 Malibu SS-350
