I am sure those two will be OK, since the tranny is working fine. Anyway, I have enough time to find out before next spring arrives. Thanks for all your help so far, Robert 1960 Crown Southampton (in wintersleep mode)----- Original Message ----- > From: "PAUL WENTINK"

spot
in the line, about mid way between the transmission and cooler. I
have
only seen this filter on 1962 and newer. The 1960 model that my
parents
bought new, doesn't have one, and niether does my '60 LeBaron, or my1956 with the same transmission. These cars may have not ever had
one,
or they could have been removed at some point. If they didn't have
it,
it would make sense that it began in 1962 coinciding with the
redesign
of the Torqueflite.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 hismodifcations 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/Ccondensor. He was convinced that nothing should ever be placed in
front
of that unit, not even a bug screen. He may have been right, althoughthe 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 theradiator 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?

I think you are right, I thought it was just a coupler to connect two pieces of the cooler line..... 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. Cheers, Roger Phoenix
