The tranny was cooled through the engine block, not the radiator like later models.

What engine do you have?

If it is a 292, I would try and get everything so that you can run it just like Ford did.

Here's a pic of the original A/T cooling system. The 8289 T connector tended to rust out, so many people installed a trans cooler in front of the radiator.

1961/64 F100/350 and 1965/66 F100/250 240/300 with C4 used a different T connector (B6D-8589-A) than 1965/67 F100/250 352 with MX Cruise-O-Matic (C5TZ-8289-A)
