Looking for this fitting for a 67 500 C6. Sealed with an o-ring.

Never seen an o ring seal, should be 1/8npt

The later AOD/AOD-E used that o-ring type fitting, I agree I also have never seen that on a C-6.

Usually has this 90 degree fitting but maybe cooling lines are not original.

6768 uses that straight in fitting. The 90° fitting came in to play very late 68 and into 69

Tim, any ideas on where to find one?

I have a couple V6 parts transmissions around. Let me look my day and see if any have that feeling.

Hey Rick, I checked and I have no fittings

On a C6 the rear one has a 90 degree fitting like that while the front one is straight and just adapts the screw thread on the case to reverse flare thread found on the fitting.

Ok, so I got bored offshore and looked through a few supplier catalogs for hydraulics.

Cheapest and easiest for this assuming 1/8npt to 5/16 tubing:

Thanks Randy!

Drew, I don't think they are NpT threads....

The dozen or so c6s I've rebuilt were npt. Maybe Shelby cars used something different?
My Galaxie and F100 both run full roller c6s I built. Both run AN hose, I used 1/8npt x -6 with no issue.

Check the one you get from Randy, curious about it.
Thanks
