'65 trans lines.

[cb1965]

hey guys im replacing the trans lines to the radiator. anyone know how long they measure? does anyone sell these on line? ... for a powerglide

also what lower radiator hose should i get from the parts store? i replaced the radiator with an alluminum one and need a new lower. the old radiator was shoved in there and was not in the correct place and now the hose is too short plus its old.

i have the champion 3 row radiator and a sbc 350.
thanks

Most auto stores sell the straight pieces. You can get a cheap bender $5 and make your own.

This is what I did - you can mock up the length with some coat hanger wire if you're unsure how long; bend them SLOWLY or you'll end up starting over and wasting money. It's better to buy them slightly longer if the parts store's length is not exactly what you need.

that's also a little bit of eyeballing/guessing; make sure you know the inside diameter, I think the lower is usually the fatter one, measure the distance you need allowing for bends for clearance around the fan/shroud/belts and let the parts guy help you figure out what will work

you changed the rad and unless everything is in the sme place -they will be different. make sure that they are the right size outlets
you can also buy the bare tubing and fittings and make your own. you just need a flaring tool and a d/flaring bit

ok guys i got the lower radiator hose figured out now. i also got some line for the trans. Now upon removing the old lines i had to cut them and lost track of what line whent where. the trans has two ports and dont know where they connect to the radiator ports (is this making sense?) lol.
