OIL COOLER QUESTIONS
« on: August 25, 2012, 10:19:38 am »
i bought my car with no engine......it has 2 oil coolers and a fan......oil pressure guage and a temp guage..and remote filter.......i have all the stuff except the oil pan fittings.it appers to be plumbed like the one on the 600 web site.....what fitting do i need for the oil pan.....11/16 wrench fits the an lines that go to the oil pan i think they are #6 am i correct..... also  do the oil pan fitting need to be straight or angled....and if plumbed like  the one on 600 race parts site   is that still the best way..thanks Doug

There is a port on the engine you can hook the pressure gauge up to. You can put the oil temp gauge wherever you can find somewhere. In my sedan, I put a Tee off the oil filter adapter for the oil temp gauge

The port is on the exhaust side of the engine.
I just made one with a T from the local hardware store, cant get a picture, the car is kind of buried
