terry,

I think this question could be up your alley....

I found two fiitings at a hardware store.....one is the barb side (with a male pipe thread at the other end), and one is the flare side (with a female pipe thread at the other end). Put them together and it gives me the connections I need...

Wondering what the I.D. of our stock-sized tranny lines is?  As I measure these, the ID of the flare end is 7/32"....wondering if that is too much of a restriction?

ID of a stock line is about 1/4 inch. I don't think you have a problem but you can probably drill them out bigger?

Thanks Terry.....thanks to everyone.

I installed it and so far so good.   Took a 25 mile drive out to a cruise, much of it 60 mph and up, and no issues.

I guess a tranny coller is one of things that you dont really see a benefit of immediately (unlike a carb or cam or mufflers or something)....but I figured it was worth it.

Terry, thanks for the recommendation on the derale a year or so ago...it has been sitting in my garage since I ordered it way back then and it is FINALLY on the car. LOL
