On the car purchased new by my folks, there were things that my father, the engineer, would change to make them the way that he thought best. Over the last 25 years, I have been working on restoring all of his modifcations back to the original factory spec's, and that is one I may have missed. He had bypassed the original cooler and added an external one, mounted under the car, not in front of the radiator, or A/C condensor. He was convinced that nothing should ever be placed in front of that unit, not even a bug screen. He may have been right, although the A/C on our car stopped working in about 1964. Since I have had the car, I have come to realize that the expansion valve failed. He couldn't have done anything to prevent that. The external cooler was finally removed and the original cooler reconnected after I had the radiator rebuilt a few years back. If there had been an inline filter, I'm sure that he would have removed it at the same time he installed that cooler.
Any 1956 through 1961 Torqueflite owners find this filter installed in their cooler lines?

But this could well be an inline filter!I will check it out as soon as the weather clears up a little, lots of rain here at the moment you see :(
Thanks again, Robert ----- Original Message ----- From: mopar37206@xxxxxxx To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 4:48 AM Subject: IML: 1960 torqueflite questionI believe you have an in-line filter located in the cooler lines about halfway between the trans and the radiator. That's worth checking/replacing.
