You need the trans cooler as part of the rad ( at its bottom ) as that is what cools the trans fluid in our cars
You need to be aware of the hose inlet and exit as they are in different locations for different years

Hello folks,once the rain stops in my city I'm planning to install a new radiator. The old one is really messy inside. I searched on supplier sites but I'm not sure which one to buy:Copper oder aluminum, transmission cooler extern or integrated etc... Recommendations for me?Thanks a lot,SammySee More
"I don't recall you mentioning your carb. You mentioned that your mechanics are not used to american cars, and I wonder if the carb has been worked on or checked out. Remember, the thin metal shim has to be under the carb, and the 1/4 inch…"
"Right. Intake manifold leaks and sticky PCV whistle has nothing to do with RPM. My leak and sticky PCV whistling were not RPM related at all. PS: The intake manifold gasket is not part of the carb. It's between the…"
"How do you want to send the money? :-)I agree that it is not a typical bearing sound, but in my opinion it can't be the intake or anything related to the carb cause it's not related to rpm.Driving in D : WHISTLINGDriving in N:…"
"I agree. I'll bet a year's wages it's either PCV or intake gasket. Those both cause intermittent whistling and both disappear (usually) when idling."

"Hi Douglas, I changed brakes and wheel bearings twice because of the whistle sound. As far as it doesn't appear at all while standing still and idling or rising rpm while standing, I still believe it's something on the rear end…"
"Thanks, yes I did change it last year for other maintenance reason. But like the possible intake leaks this should occur while idling and not only while driving. "
"I would also try servicing the PCV valve. It's a very quick and simple operation. If you are only driving in the summer it may well be stuck or tacky enough to stick in a partially open mode sometimes. This could cause the…"

Posted by Nile Bolen on January 8, 2021 at 11:44am 7 Comments 0 Likes
I'm trying to remove the rear seatback on my 1964 deville conv. The only help on this site that I can find is the following:
The seatback, its bright stainless trim, and the speaker grille are removed as an assembly. The seat back hangs on two hooks near the top, and is retained to the body by two bolts and washers near the floor, one on the right side, one on the left.Once these fasteners are removed, lift the seat back upward and free it from the hooks
I've removed…
