I'm not sure what the radiator is out of? 78 aspen 318 car is my best bet. New cooler lines from inline tube. Can someone tell me which fittings I need to make the connection? Best guesses are also welcome!
Thanks

Mopar uses 5/16" lines. Go to a NAPA dealer and buy a 25 foot steel line and the end fittings. Go on Summit Racing and for about $50 you can get a high quality tuning bender, It won't crimp the line. Also buy a high quality double flare too. I recommend quality tools every time.
 
I already have the new cooler lines from inline tube. All I need is the fitting from the radiator to the cooler lines
 
This is what I used on 75 slant/904

Same fittings on my 65 Dart. I bought at Home Depot, but Ace probably has too. I bought 5/16" tubing (ebay) and bent & flared my own tubes. Requires just a few bends. Some gomer had cut the trans tubes to take the engine or trans out and installed short rubber tubes.
