Thanks, Nate. That would go along with what I was told.

Now that is bizarre. the tranny I'm thinking of had no provisions for
external cooling at all in standard form, it was cooled through shaped
fins on the torque converter. The HD version *did* have cooling line
fittings, but then it was always used with the appropriate radiator with
built in cooler. (speaking for Studebakers only, not any other vehicles.)
