Tranny Cooler.

[davidkerryedwards]

If your 78 is like my 80, it has a locking convertor. When the
convertor is locked, heat generation should not be a big issue. Once
you start climbing a hill and the convertor unlocks, heat production
increases quickly. On a steep hill, I think it is a major factor in
having the engine fan clutch kick on. I don't have a transmission
temperature gauge so this is an educated guess.
