i tried a 3/8 and it was too big1 i was hoping somone would say oh it's 1/4" that's my guessryoken said:
honestly, i'm going on what i remember them looking like from last spring.. 
they might may very well be 1/4... actually now that i think about it, 3/8's is pretty big compared to what i remember putting in when i went with Endura fittings and #6...
thought i had a link to a list.. hmmmm, wait, here it is... http://www.tciauto.com/tech_info/cooler_fittings.htm
looks like i was wrong, t400 and 700 are the same at 1/4 and it says 350 is 1/8.. boy that seems small for a tranny line...

5/16" tubing is for trannies
3/8 was for 4 bbl carb fuel feed
5/16" also was for 2bbl carb fuel feed line
3/16" is front brake lines and rear axle tube lines-= after the rear hose split block
1/4" for rear frame line all way from the rear brake m/c port

just to let anyone know that's thinking about a braided line swap. i ordered the 1/8" pipe thread fittings for my th350. no worky 
too small! must be 1/4" TCI's info isn't complete the tranny i have is the standard th350 to 203 nothing exotic.

question
Are you asking the thread pitch and dia of the cooler line holes in the alum case
or the size for the tube nut ?
I confused cuase 1/8 is what you use for oil sender.

What type of plumbing/hose would one ask for if running soft transmisson lines ?
I know the high temp rubber stuff is not good because of fire risk, but could I run all the special braided hose instead of my poorly routed metal line ?

iirc NHRA regs are less than 24" of rubber line on vehicle? the more rubber line the more risk of leaks/fire. factory steel lines work fine for 99% of rigs, braided lines for trannys may be overkillColAdo82K5 said:
6an line should be fine for trans lines. i was most concerned about chassis flex and fatigue with steel lines as well as aftermarket cooler options so that's what made me decide on an stuff
