RE: Coolant routing ?

[SB <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

If you drive your car in the cold weather, it is good to have it hooked 
to the trans cooler in the radiator, as well.  This will allow the 
torqueflite to warm up to operating temperature, which is necessary.

Years ago my friend had a slant six Dart, and the trans cooler went bad 
one summer.  We disconnected the cooling lines and looped them with a 
hose.  Worked great, until the winter came, and it wouldn't shift 
properly.  We tried everything to no avail.  Finally, we installed a new 
radiator and connected the transmission lines up again, and it shifted 
like new.

Again, it was fine all summer.
