Mark, Tracy and Al,
Looks like you guys are using either C&R or Fluidine oil coolers. Do these units have thermostats? If not, is this a problem? If it is a problem, what is your solution? I'm full of questions today!
Thanks, Ken Powell

This solves a riddle for me. I bought a very stout oil cooler off ebay a while back for my 20B. From the specs on the fluidyne website, it looks to be a Fluidyne model 30716. It has a Modine sticker on the side and was represented to be a NASCAR cooler. I had never been able to locate any oil coolers manufactured by Modine, so I imagine it was built by Fluidyne for Modine. It has four fittings, two on each end and is a double-pass design. There are very fine turbulators inside the tubes. Yes, it is heavy, but very well built.

-Finally, I could find another type of oil cooler, which would be closer to the size of the evap core. In the old archives, Mike Wills mentioned Fluidyne. I had one of their radiators in my FD, and it was very well built. Here's a link to the oil cooler family I'm thinking about. They look pretty good to me. What do you think? http://www.fluidyne.com/pl_theoc.html

Really liked the DB 30517 (3.75" thick double pass model) Will probably use this one on my -8.
