I finally got around to installing my aux oil cooler. Used a Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate and Derale fan/cooler. Aeroquip blue hose with -8AN push on ends connected it up. Hose runs next to valve cover and zip ties to the wire bales (should make valve adjustments interesting). I removed the heater J tube on the passenger side to route the cooler lines. Since that J tube was just capped anyway, I just removed the J tube and put the cap where the J tube normall attaches to the heat exchangers. So there is no change to the heating system.

Aaron,
I ran my cooler up front using the blue hose and fittings above...and I used the chepo thrucooler oil cooler also. I think the whole setup from racerpartswholesale was right around 400. That was ~35ft of line plus fittings and adapter and cooler, oh and -10 lines. The highest temps I have seen are 210 on a 95+ day while floggin the car up a long grade, otherwise it barely gets above 180...so if you have a better fluidyne it will probably work even better. HTH, Tony edit: previous thread with pics and stuff http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...3&hl=oil+cooler |
