Happy New year everyone!
I have a 1985 C4 base model with 209k on it and has new engine and trans. since it is a 1985 and has 209k I thought I would purchase a new radiator for it. The radiator is a direct fit except the transmission oil lines. It seems like the threads are different. I tried to identify what type of threads they are with no luck. Is there an adapter required? I attached pictures of the male and female fittings. Additionally there is a air pure valve and does not have a plug in it, picture attached also. Were can I obtain . Thanks for you help!! Original trans oil cooler connection on radiator New radiator oil connection and male tubing connector. Also air purge female with no threads
these? Thanks Art
Should just be inverted flare,no?
And that barb sticking out is for low coolant temp sensor. When I got my aluminum radiator for my non stock 88 I had no clue what it was. Had to go to Napa and buy one just to plug it off....
Thanks. I went out and bought the 5/16 inv flare nut and It did not work. the 5/16 flare nut is the same size as the OE on the 1985 corvette. It seems to need an adapter from 5/16 to the port on the radiator? I am not sure what size the Radiator port is. I tried to contact vendor but no response yet. Any suggestions?

Radiator is 'in the car' OR 'in your hands'? Carry the radiator to a fitting/hydraulics shop and find out what fits! Brand and part # for the radiator?
Yes in car, you are right I will remove it and bring it this weekend. It must be a common size. I red else were the people have experienced the same is but ther is no post for the solution

If you have thread pitch gages or access to them you could resolve it that way also I'd think. Is the cooler maybe a Metric thread? Difficult to tell without checking. You've NOT answered the question brand & part # so ..................
