I'm starting to put back together my II and ran into a problem. I cant remember how my trans lines are run. Its a c-4, pan fill, that looks like someone brazed a fitting on to the pan right next to the dipstick. i think this brings the fluid to the cooler and the fitting on the side of the trans receives the cooled fluid. the only problem is i dont know which fitting on the radiator each attach to. also, there is an old trans cooler in front of the radiator that it was also attached to. Does anyone know the solution to put this back together? is the one in front even needed? the radiator is a four cylinder one only because of space. It cooled fine before i took it apart.

Also, does anyone make trans lines? that would be much easier than bending my own.

Classic Tube sells the OEM ones, but they feed to the radiator. Classic Tube: C-4 - V8

Sounds like somebody put an aftermarket one in yours.
