Q: My ’72 C10 has a TH-700-R4 transmission. I want to run braided AN line to an aftermarket transmission cooler with -6 AN ports. What fittings will I need to adapt the braided line to the radiator and transmission?
A: Your TH-700-R4, and most other GM transmission cases, accept 1/4-inch NPSM (National Pipe Straight Mechanical) fittings. Summit Racing transmission line adapters are -6AN male fittings that thread directly into your transmission case. The transmission cooler on the factory radiator has 1/2-inch inverted flare fittings, so you’ll also need a pair of -6AN male to inverted flare adapter fittings. If you have an aftermarket radiator, you’ll have to identify the fitting size and type to purchase the correct adapters. Follow the diagram when you route your lines, and remember the upper fitting on the TH-700-R4 is the return fitting, while the lower fitting is the output.

Hello. So 1996 4l80e, lower line is feed, upper is return?
The lower feed goes to bottom or top of radiator?
I’m installing a Derale 52506 stacked cooler. Derale says it can be mounted in any orientation. So it’s ok to install with lines down Im assuming?
I have a th350 from monster and just purchased an after market cooler. Can you help? Is it the same process?
