Project: Over My Head

[yossarian19]

OK. So. 4L60E cooler ports are 1/4 NPS (not NPT) x quick connect. To do it again, I might just stick with quick connects. However, I've found:
No such thing as a 1/4 NPS x 3/8" barb fitting. So you have to find something else.
I came across 1/4 nps male x 1/4 nps male couplers here and 1/4 nps female x 3/8 barbs fittings here
Shipping, at both sites, is pretty expensive. If I hadn't mistakenly bought the NPS female / barb fittings first, I'd have skipped the 1/4 male by 1/4 male and gone with Summit, which sells these -6AN to 1/4NPS fittings. Add on a -6 barb and you're home - just add hoses. In retrospect, that's what I shoulda done - instead, I'm out maybe 10-15 extra bucks. As much as 20. Oh, well.
In other news, and I'll get pics up tomorrow, I -
*Got started on my shift linkage, using parts from Midwest Controls (recommended)
*Assembled my gauge cluster, using Omega Kustoms gauges & a Speedway gauge plate
*Found that the accelerator pedal I ordered won't work for me
*Opened the box on my body wiring harness, decided to leave it for another day
and
*Decided that a 110 vac, flux-core welder is in my future.
