Dewitts trouble/question
Did any of you guys that have a Dewitts radiator have trouble getting the tranny lines to thread into the radiator? I can get it to start (about 1 thread) and then it gets really hard to turn very fast!!! The threads in the radiator fitting look like a match to the threads on the tranny line, but they dont feel like they will go together. I'm really afraid I'm gonna crossthread/or ruin the radiator side threads!!!!!!!

Contact Dewitts and ask about the thread tightness.
