Jeff,
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and not run out and check my car, but what I
believe
you have in part number 435-590 is the adapter that fits into the oil filter
housing,
not the block. One oil cooler hose goes to the oil filter housing, the other
to that
fitting towards the rear of the block. Aren't you just replacing the line that
goes
from the rear of the block to the oil filter housing with the oil cooler
assembly?
