Can I use rubber fuel line for the tranny cooler lines or does it need to be steel with compression fittings? Are the tranny cooler line under any pressure?

72bronco said:I have full-length headers and am able to route the tranny lines away from them with no problems. Mine just run along the frame rail to a tranny cooler mounted in front of the radiator.
Broncobowsher said:When I did the automatic conversion I was running long tube headers. I found it easier to just route the cooler lines up the back of the transmission (following the dipstick) and across the top of the intake. Those were steel and rubber ran from the top of the intake to the coolers in the rad and grill.
