I am converting a manual 3 speed to a 2 speed powerglide. I need the configuration of the tubes from the transmission to the radiator for a 250 6cyl engine. a photo would be helpful/ a dimensioned drawing or a tracing would be perfect!! I also need the exact location of the inlet & outlet where the tubes connect to the radiator (dimensions please).
I also need the configuration of the kick down linkage from the transmission to the carborator (dimensions,a tracing or a photo would be appreciated).

Mel,
What year and what model car is this? Full sized, Chevelle, etc.
Also remember to remove the pilot bearing from the crankshaft.

I have an old B body radiator with tranny cooler and would be happy to take measurements to locate the in/out fittings, if that would help you. Let me know, as I'll need to dig it out from behind my toolbox to get to it. Also, the USRadiator web site has technical data about their radiators that might help you -- http://usradiator.com/2010Catalog.html

a fellow VCCA member faxed me the location....turns out that there are 2 flat spots on the bottom tank of all radiators made for the fittings, but I appreciate your offer.......now if I can locate the dimensions/shape of the lines from the powerglide to the radiator for a 6cyl.

The vehicle is a 1966 biscayne 2 dr w/a 250 6 cyl.with only 17,500 actual miles! I need to convert to a powerglide because of the limited use of my right side.I appreciate the heads up on the removal of the pilot bearing!!

I doubt very much if there is a cooler behind the flat spots.
If nothing else you could run the present radiator and add an external cooler.....at least for now.
