So, who sells the best adaptor to use with a spin on and a cooler?

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.
