It wasnt of intake it was of motor and trans. Thanks

[56 ford custom]

Sorry about that. Your pic barely popped up...my damn phone sucks haha. I honestly dont know if the hose went the the water pump or intake. I will have to do more research. Hopefully somebody with the same set up chimes in.

john

look at THIS pic on your pc.

click on it to enlarge.

this pic is just fine

master parts guy said 'hipoparts.com' for 'Parts Lists'
they may have '60 F100 shop manual on cd.

i would not go hooking things up on 'opiniyoneys'
unless you don't care what happens to your engine.

This hose coming off of the cooler onto the floor. That is the hose im not sure of where it goes. Either the manifold or water pump?

i'll go out and take pic of intake like it is now.
later today.
hoses and clamps are off.
fitting to rear is vacuum it has pvc on end.
that leaves on top 5/8" water and out the front 5/8" water.
i would say it's the on top one.
mine has bicycle tire valve fitting on top of it.
old timey flushing the block deal.
you'll see it better in new pic.

Ok ill check it out

[56 ford custom]

Nobody here has has experience or even used one of these transmissions with a cooler like this? Im just trying to figure out Where the hose goes from the cooler? Does it go to the water pump or the intake? Also I need to figure out where the hoses go from the heater aswell.

[56 ford custom]

Anyone figure this out yet? I still have found nothing on it.

[all american boy]

do i remember where hoses went? no.

the fitting on the intake straight up near front of intake

is a water fitting.

the other one is intake vacuum w/PCV valve on it

on thermo housing is straight out water 5/8" fitting.

water pump

straight back probably connects to thermo housing straight out one.

pipe headed out passenger side.

it looks like it's either one on top of intake

or water pump passenger side.

1 set the the intake on long block

2 hang water pump by a bolt or two

3 see where hose fits the best.

Do both Bellhousings have the "ears" for the truck engine mounts (car bells don't have these).

I sent a PM.

Trans worked descent. No Idea on new tranny. I want told the year of the new motor and trans. Yes they are both from a truck.

The front connection on the manifold looks like the heater takeoff point with what is left of a tap.
The other connection in front of the carburetor flange must be vacuum cos there ain't no water there. Don't connect your cooler there unless you want to flood the engine with water.
As I have said before, throw the old cooler in the bin or put it on the shelf. Do yourself a favour and get an aftermarket cooler and mount it in front of the radiator. Do not run the trans fluid through a cooler in the radiator.

i'm going to help you learn and stay young.

1 about slightly misnamed trans cooler either this rare truck one

or what became standard later using the bottom tank of radiator.

THE WATER GETS HOT BEFORE TRANS FLUID WILL.

IT 'PRE-WARMS' THE TRANSMISSON.AUTOMATICS DON'T LIKE COLD.

2 the small add on radiator you keep talking about.

is what's known here as an 'add on' extra cooling small cooler

sometimes part of a towing package or police package.

it's not meant to replace a bottom tank radiator transmission 'cooler'.

TRANSMSSION WILL NOT GET HELP GETTING UP TO TEMP IT LIKES TO RUN AT.

An old timer/friend came in and said to keep it and that the hose hooks up to the waterpump. So I will take the radiator and cooler or whatever you want to call it to the radiator shop to have cleaned and pressure tested.

[all american boy]

that worked out!

put any other questions here if needed.

have a nice day

bob

[56 ford custom]

Ok well I need to get this dang tranny clean really good. I want it to look factory so I dont want to paint it. Were the bellhousings and tranny case painted or plain? If they were plain what can I do so they dont rust?

[all american boy]

56 Ford Custom

1 remember to take bellhousing off and

gunk and pressure wash separate.

then plug up rest of tranny real good before cleaning.

then you're done that.

then dump oil in a day or two after it's running.

2 no paint on trans.

helps heat dissipate.

yeah. where your at and if you keep it.

it will get rusty by the year 4000 like Star Trek era.
