C4 Trans. Cooler Fittings

[jrshepherd]

Hello. I am bring back to life a 74 bronco. I installed the trans and need to order the fittings to get the cooler working. They appear to be 1/4? I ordered SS trans cooler lines from Jeff's. I do not have the orgional setup, so they will not work. Does anyone know what type of fittings to use? What type of trans cooling systems do you all use?
Thanks for all of your help.

im thinking you just need the threaded fittings that screw into the trans and then you screw your hoses to the fittings. you can get those at advance auto.

Those fittings broncomania is refering to are brass. They have a straight thread and an O ring. They adapt to a flared fitting on the hard lines. They should be in the HELP section of any Advance, AutoZone, Pepboys or O'Reilly's. If you can't find any local I have a few extras.

Thanks! I tried O'Reilly's without luck, so I will try the others today. Do you know what size? Thanks again for all of your help!

I'll go measure one in a minute.

The threads measure 3/8-24 and accept a 1/4" tube flare.

I bought some bits last night, but have not installed them yet. Are they course or fine?

Thanks again, Shep
