Where can I get one of these!
I found a tranny cooler, can i use this? or are those lines under some serious pressure.

Thanks

The return line (the one with the hose clamps) has very little pressure, you could put one there. The factory put one on alot of these cars; it's a piece of tubing that loops across the car below the radiator. Very simple, better than nothing I guess.

Is that what that b@stard piece of tubing is!? I was just pondering over that thing the other day, wondering why GM would have done such a thing. Now I know..Thanks RB!

 

I snagged that loop of tubing along with the bottom fan mounting bracket from the car I got the fan setup from. I just wonder how much it helps, and if it is even needed.

That factory p/s cooler wasn't on my '84 parts car, but it's on my '86, if that helps determine the year of change...

Tom P,

My 84 Z has a power steering pump cooler!!!

So, maybe it was an option for a package or something like that?

 

My 83 has it.

I wonder why newer model thirdgens don't have this tubing...well, not that I've seen that's for sure

 

Mine has it. Doesn't look like it'd cool much of anything though. How hot does PS fluid get anyway? Maybe on a race car revving over 4K alot, but on a street car? It might be something they did with cars with optional tires (235's/245's) because of the increased turning effort required, and the soccer moms who stop all the way to turn the wheels lock to lock.
