[TR] [Fot] oil filter/cooler adapter

[Tony Drews]

I'm not finding the adapter on Moss's site, but one thing that I've 
not seen mentioned - there are two basic designs of the oil cooler 
adapter that I've seen.  One goes between the block and the filter 
"housing", and the 2nd goes between the oil filter itself and the 
filter "housing" - or in my case, replaces the filter completely.  My 
understanding is that the one that sandwiches between the filter 
housing and the block sends the oil pressure before the relief valve 
to the cooler while the one that attaches where the filter would go 
sends the AFTER relief valve pressure to the cooler.  The oil pump 
puts out quite a bit of pressure so you are more apt to split the 
cooler with the higher pressure setup.
