Just finished restoring my 54 Vette, or so I thought. The car did not have transmission to radiator cooling lines when I got it, but notice now that it is re-assembled there are outlets at the bottom of the radiator. They are plugged (done when I had radiator cleaned and checked), but notice it is next to impossible to get to them. Did the early Corvettes have the cooling lines to the radiator? If so, what is the secret of hooking the lines up? I hate to remove the hood and radiator again, but the front suspension is too close to get at it.
the cast iron powerglide installed in c-1's weren't installed in st lois with tranny cooler .as a matter of fact, there should be no provision on the radiator to take cooling lines.mike
54's do not not have trans coolers
the ports on the trans are plugged.
There are no lines
