Re: IML: Torqueflite In Line Filters



There is one in my '62, '63, & '65. I haven't looked at the '68, so I can say one way of the other on it.

That type of filter is used on the 63, I've never seen one on any other year Imperial.

Hi Paul and others that jumped in on this subject, 
 
Thanks for the clear explanation, I definetely don't have an in-line

Right now, the driving season has ended for my car overhere in the

I hope that other torqueflite specialists (Dick B.? or Philippe) will
jump > in too, to shine a light on it. 
I would like to know if a stucked regulator valve or a stucked
coventor > valve could cause the same sympthon (no fluid at the cooler lines). 
 
But when I think about it, this might be a stupid question cause the

I guess the oil pressure at the cooler lines is built up by either
the > front or rear pump in the tranny? 
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,

This filter is about the size of a soup can and should be easy to
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 my 
1956 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 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?

Thanks Roger! 
 
 
 
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,

I 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.
