Transmission cooling lines

[RivNut]

Can someone provide me with either some good picture, an illustration, or a description of how the transmission lines run from the radiator to the transmission?  Do the go around, under, over, (through) the motor mount? How do they snake around the oil filter?  How close do the come to the balancer and bottom pulley? Are there clips that hold them in place along the way?  It’s been too long since I took everything apart to remember all the details.  The engine is in place. Can it stay or does it need to be lifted. - no problem, no fenders or anything else in the way. 
 

I’m telling you now, getting older has some definite disadvantages - like trying to remember details of something you did 7 years ago. 
 

Thanks,

Ed

I installed new lines in my 64 and look like the pictures above.

Thanks,

Those pictures are perfect. I’m sure that progress will go forward as normal now.

Yes, the loop for the oil filter.

I purchased mine from Classic Tube in Buffalo, NY

Excuse the shadows and the tye-wrap:

I use a spare oil pan, it's marked where the filter goes

I thought the lines were pre bent to go from front to back.? From the transmission to the radiator. Careful not to cross the threads….

Purchased a pre-bent brake line kit years ago, supposedly an exact copy of an original set. . It took a lot of tweaking to get it to lay right. I distinctly remember the pipe from distribution block to driver front wheel cylinder was an inch too short. 

I did just notice the fittings on xframes picture look way short to pass over the radiator support bar compared to original. 

 

So why bother?  From then on, back to my own devices.

Happens more than once on parts that can be modified. My Dad would lay out old copper tube lines on cardboard and trace the tube. Then he would drive nails on the on the lines that traced the old tube lines.

The kit I bought from Classic Tube fit perfectly, as did their brake lines.

Ed, is this on the 64? My front crossover tube from Classic wasn't correct on my ‘63 so  I had them send me straight tube and copied the original one.
