[DeTomaso] Oil Cooler

[michael at michaelshortt.com]

I have one mounted  (air) by the front of the rear right tire with lines
going around the engine to the filter assembly and it works great, I have
never seen above 220-230 and I use a sep. oil temp guage mounted in the
console and check it often to compare to water temp.
