that's for the auto trans oil cooler thing. all radiators for our cars manual or auto has them.

cool so i just cap it and im good?

Driving in florida without a bottle of water? You have much to learn young padawan.

yes i do.

Dayum that sux man.... Keep your eyes open for some parts, they come up in the strangest of places sometimes. And if you want a fire extinguisher, I can get em for cheap and they come with a mounting bracket.

Hot Rod, look out, you just got one uped unfortunately..... so sad to see our cars go into flames.

might take you up on that fire extinguisher offer if its not a beast to ship. anyway i hope not to have to go through something like this ever again, ........ but it cant hurt to be prepared.

anyone know what goes on the bottom of the radiator here, the two brass/copper "nipples"? No hoses or anything right? was it just plugged?

those nipples looks like oil cooler lines for AT.

my radiator has those too but no use.

so they dont keep pressure or anything? just leave them as is? i didnt recall anything being there but it looks very shiny an bare now, idk if there were black covers that burnt off.

thanks for your help and concern guys.
