Trade tools will help, but really you are looking for a mid to large High Tech system with a Refinery or Extraction system within 17LY. You buy Performance Enhancers, Consumer Technology, or Progenitor Cells at the one and Gold or Palladium at the other. If you want to get really fancy you look for systems with high supply and high demand at both stations. The former should be relatively easy to find with the latter taking time and or luck.
Just a bit of encouragement, but the numbers I quoted are very conservative. A triple A rated route will net 1200 one way and 1500 the other for a round trip of 2700 credits per ton. If you accidentally find one of those help a guy out with a PM.
A bit of personal advice for outfitting the Type-7 would be to not go unshielded. I have linked my old setup and one that is unshielded below and you will see they have the exact same jump range. Some would say that the 16t you gain for going unshielded makes a big difference but the 4-5 Mill lost in cargo and insurance when you crash hurts.

If you need help with a route or anything else shoot me a PM.
