Re: IML: HD Torsion Bar answer - towing packages

["Frederick Joslin" <fljoslin@xxxxxxxx>]

Kenyon:

 

The transmission cooler on my 69 LeBaron is huge.

I believe the dimensions are about the same as the radiator, but about 1" thick.

It is out in front of the A/C cooler so it would be able to do some serious cooling.

 

Note: I believe that the tow package also has heavy duty leaf springs. There is absolutely no sag in the rear of my car which I think is uncommon for cars of this vintage.

It almost sits too high!

None of the 4 fusleage cars that I have has an
external trans cooler besides the thing in the bottom
tank of the radiator. "Transmission Cooler" to me
means a seperate, smaller radiator that gets rid of
the trans heat.

That's a GOOD clue, and I'll start keeping an eye open
for that on parts car candidates that are floating
around - would appreciate it if others can do the
same, although I don't know what I'll say when one
turns up in Timbuktu and the resident club member
there presents the prospective bill for prying them
out.

If anyone sees something, I'm interested in these - up
to a point, anyway....
