COOLER LOCATION
COOLER MOUNTING
Cooler can be mounted anywhere space permits. When selecting the best
location for your vehicle, look for a location that will deliver the maximum airflow.
1. Holding the cooler in place use a marker to identify the four mounting
hole locations.
2. Using a drill and 9/32” drill bit, drill the four mounting holes in the
desired location.
3. Using the 1/4-20 Bolts, Washers & Lock Nuts Included, install cooler.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Important: The Adapter Plate & O-ring are designed to fit vehicles with
a 3 1/2” filter landing. Primarily 1963-2007 GM SB & BB V-8 engines.
There are 6 supplied Sleeve Nuts in this kit. Only 1 Sleeve Nut will be
used for your application.
SELECTING COMPONENTS
Selecting the Sandwich Adapter and/or Adapter Plate
Selecting the Sleeve Nut
To easily select the correct components for your application, follow the steps
below. Then proceed to the SANDWICH ADAPTER INSTALLATION section.
1. Remove the factory oil filter from the vehicle.
2. Using a rag, clean the oil filter landing on the engine.
3. Take the supplied Sandwich Adapter and Adapter Plate.
4. To determine if your application uses the supplied Adapter Plate, first hold
the Adapter Plate up to the oil filter landing on the engine block. The
casting needs to seat directly onto the landing without obstruction. If the
Adapter Plate is too large, then disregard the Adapter Plate and O-ring.
(See Diagram #3)
5. Take the supplied Sandwich Adapter and hold it up the oil filter landing on
the engine block. The casting needs to seat directly onto the landing
without obstruction. (See Diagram #2)
1. The Red Sleeve Nut is ONLY used when the Adapter Plate is being
used. If you have previously determined that your application will use the
Adapter Plate then disregard the 5 remaining Sleeve Nuts. If you are not
using the Adapter Plate, please disregard the Red Sleeve Nut.
2. Using the remaining 5 supplied Sleeve Nuts, try and screw each Sleeve
Nut onto the filter nipple on the engine block until the correct size will
completely thread onto the nipple. Once you have located the correct
Sleeve Nut, disregard the remaining 4 Sleeve Nuts.
