Re: [Chevelle-list] '66 Radiator in '65 Chevelle

Hi Jim,

It is leaking so fast it cannot be driven. I may have to install a pipe to 
flare adapter, or maybe cut it off and use a pipe to compression adapter.

Thanks,
Dennis

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
