[DeTomaso] Has anyone used the Earls 510ERL oil cooler adapter?

[Will Kooiman]

I tried that adapter on my car, and I couldn't get it to fit properly.

I have a large mech fuel pump, though.  It would probably fit well with an
electric or a normal mech fuel pump.

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....)
