    Sure Curtis,

    Thanks for the info on installing the temp gauge. Im pretty sure, everyone will say Autometer, but what is the best gauge as far as accurate readings?

    I made mounts and mounted my perma cool cooler just off of the rad support keeping the cooler off of the condenser about 1in or so and used SS braded lines and fittings I made up my self . I Got about $200.00 in the whole thing ,( all Ebay items) Then ran them through the frame with a in line temp sensor for the fan Check it out , Only thing to watch out for is Make sure the lines are held together and up away from the front spring in the spring tower part of the frame

    Dave/Larry, any particular reason for mounting the Trans cooler on the drivers side of the car. Just curious. Thanks, Jim

    Ok, tried to take the best pictures I could. I have no light in my garage, and today is a dismal rainy day in N.Y., so I did not want to pull the car out. These are the best shots I could get.

    Basically what I did was attach some metal strips to the cooler using very small screws. I then attached the cooler to the radiator support. On one side, I used the 2 center grill mounting studs, and on the other side I used an existing hole, and drilled another. The cooler is mounted very securely to the rad support in 4 places. I ran power steering rated rubber line to the rad cooler, and return line. No leaks or problems in over 5 years.

    Nice looking hood latch there Larry! :grin:

    Here's a couple pics of my new tranny cooler. It's 11"x11"x1.5". I am not using the radiator's cooler. It JUST fits in the space between the a/c condenser and the hood latch support. But nothing got crushed, but it does just fit.
