Powerglide Coolant lines

I need help figuring out the factory correct parts for the powerglide coolant lines to radiator installation. I purchased coolant lines from a parts supplier, the lines end with a 90 degree towards the ceiling. The supplier tells me that there is supposed to be a 90 degree elbo fitting installed into the radiator first, then the lines get connected to those. from what I can tell, It appears the they should have a slight bend just before the ends. So they go staight into the radiator tank without the 90 degree elbows. I sure could use some help with this. Thanks in advance. Mike

They go straight in, The Truck SHop in CA has reproduction ones available.

All three of my trucks they had that 90 degree brass fitting in the lower radiator and the lines went straight into the fitting at a 90 of the tank.

Re: Powerglide Coolant lines

Thanks for your help, The Truck Shop is the supplier that I purchased the reproduction lines from. They are telling me that there should be a 90 degree elbow in the lower radiator tank. Meaning that the line comes up vertically and connects to the elbow. I was under the impression that the lines entered the tank straight on at a horizontal position. The PO had cut the lines to reroute them into an add on Hayden core out on the front of the radiator. Always greatful for your info. Mike
