The torque converter company request the discharge pressure from the upper transmission line going to the radiator. Thanks guys for the input. I found a fitting 1/8 npt that I can use hose on either end. I can connect the gauge to that fitting. Thanks for the info.

Are the stock 2004R transmission lines 5/16"? Wanting to install a "T" on the discharge line to verify transmission pressure. This is temporary install - any suggestions to just verify the discharge pressure? I don't want to cut the originals if possible.
Thanks, Craig
I just put the original battery stickers on the backing for the old school reproduction one. If it goes bad I'll just switch the stickers back to the original battery stickers. Should work.
Several years ago I replaced the brake lines with Teflon lined stainless braided lines from Classic Tube. I'd replace the original brake lines at this point with something new for safety.

My follow up. I installed a set of EBC RK7000 gen2 rotors, Hawk HPS pads, and rebuilt original calipers. Rotors look to be real nice quality and car stops great. I'm real happy with the England made EBC rotors. They cost about $180 for the pair but I think it's worth it for the quality and...
Guys, this is with my Monte Carlo and not my Regal T. My Monte Carlo has a GM ZZ383, 200R4 non lock-up, and 3.42 10 bolt. In drive at the end of the quarter mile it is going through the trap at 5500 rpm at 107 to 108 mph. The car shifts in drive through the gears at 5500 to 5600 rpm's. I...
I am currently running a 10 inch non lock-up PTC that I purchased through Dusty about 10 years ago. I guess the best plan is to send it back to PTC to be cut apart checked and cleaned before I install it with my new transmission. The PTC converter is still in the car with old transmission. I...
What are the best 200R4 "Non Lock-up" torque converter brands ? I am considering a Pro Torque or PTC. Looking for a quality torque convertor which is going to be driven on the street and some foot brake bracket racing with it. My car has 450 horsepower so nothing crazy.
Thanks for any input.
I'll check my stash. I think I have a spare cover I got from a yard years ago. Measure your opening and we will verify I have is what you need. Where are you located - city - state.
May be a bit before I reply.
Thanks, Craig
I replaced the original rubber lines in 2013 with Classic Tube - braided stainless Teflon lined hoses. I sure wouldn't think those are bad. I do some more driving and post the results.
Thanks, Craig
Thanks for the advice guys. I finally got the time to work on the car today. My driver side drum was tighter than the passenger side. I adjusted the passenger side about 8 more clicks. They them seemed to take about the same effort to remove the drums off the shoes. I drove the car around...
