4” COOLER WITHOUT REMOTE FILTER
See page 91 for 6” Cooler shroud layout.
Hose connections are the described below.
Mount the cooler on the shroud:
ebod\oilclr4
Connect the hoses to the adapter and cooler as shown. Use
Teflon tape or pipe joint compound on the threads where
the fittings attach to the cooler and adapter.
ebod\oilclr6
The adapter housing mounts onto the engine filter housing
using the substitute fitting included. The oil filter mounts
on the adapter as shown.
Fit the rubber grommets onto the lines first. Then, with
the shroud removed, pass the lines through the shrouding,
tweeking the grommets into the holes with a screwdriver,
etc.
The longer oil cooler line runs from the right side of the
cooler alongside the radiator and is tie-wrapped to the
bottom of the upper control arm inner pivot, then through
a clamp on the front of the oil pan to the right fitting on the
adapter housing.
The shorter line runs along the left side of the radiator.
Since the fitting is quite large, pass it initially by the
bottom corner of the radiator, then slide it up a bit. Tie-
wrap it to the control arm pivot shaft, then back below the
steering shaft and to the left fitting.
COOLER WITH REMOTE FILTER
Mount the remote filter on the water pump with the E.R.A.
adapter bracket. Some modifications to the pump might be
necessary.
Use a grinder to remove 3/8” from the boss.
Assemble the other components as shown. The water
pump may require modifications to the bottom mounting
boss (instructions included with cooler kit).
Note that the lines run over the diagonal tube (that goes
from the front suspension tower to the cowl) and between
the coil-over and the top of the control arm inner pivot
shaft.
