Are you asking about flare nuts?

'85 TA? Or early '86?

ty would your local auto store sell flare nuts for it? (97 cavalier)

the trans am is an 85. its one of my 4 dream cars
no order camaro trans am corvette and viper. i bought the car for 500 dollars not running/barely running. the car had a really bad rod knock and didnt start easy but with the body and t-tops in such great shape i couldnt resist. i decided i would learn about working on cars starting with this car. i started reading books and manuals and eventually gathered enough kownledge to attempt an engine removal. I removed the 305 and later had a 350 installed in it. I call this my poker car b/c all the $$$ i win from online poker/casino poker goes towards it. with a little bit of determination and alot of time even a car noob like me can appreciate the work others put into their cars and learn from others.

A '97 Cavvy would probably have "Quick-Connect" 'O' ring/standpipe fittings with locking clips in place of flared tubing and flare nuts. There was a transition to those sometime around that period.

If the line appears to have a hexagonal shaped nut at the radiator, it is likely a flare nut fitting. If it has a round metal/plastic clip which can be spun on the line, it is a Quick-connect fitting.
