Earl's makes great stuff. However, this is a 'dumb' adapter, which is
only suitable for a water-to-oil heat exchanger (in fact, you must use an
adapter like this with those units in order to get the most out of them). If
you have an air-to-oil cooler, you need a thermostatic adapter in order to
ensure that the thing doesn't over-cool the oil when you don't want it to.
Those are naturally much more expensive:

I have air-to-oil coolers and the 502ERL on my GT350 and Cobra.
If you have a water-to-oil heat exchanger, by all means go for the
510ERL....
Mike (who will incorporate a water-to-oil heat exchanger with 510ERL on his
Pantera...someday....)
