    53 Special Heater hose routing and fluid levels

    I'm doing a rebuild on my 263 and putting all new hoses in the car. I am wondering what the routing for the heater hoses is. Not the path that they take but which one hooks to wear. It seems like there are only 3 places on the engine to hook the hoses too. There was a "T" make out of galvonized pipe in one of the hoses. Included in the plumbing is the transmission cooler. I want to make sure it is plumbed correctely so that way the trans gets cooled. Any help would be great.


    Also how much oil does the engine hold? Trans too?



    Thanks,

    Jeff
