Hi Joe:
Here is what I have. I have what is known as a "sandwhich" adaptor, which fits in between the filter and the filter housing.
The two AN lines and fittings come off of the sandwich and go to the oiler cooler.
There are two types of sandwich adaptors. One with a thermostatic switch and one without. I think you may want one with the theromostatic switch in it. It limits
oil to the cooler until the
oil achieves a specific temperature.
Another way of doing this is to use the non switch sandwich and run a thermostatic valve switch in-line to the cooler.
Summit has a sandwich adaptor without the thermostat on page 130 of their new Jan-Feb catalog as part number TRD-1313 for Ford V8.
In the Jegs catalog, they list Perma-Cool Remote
Oil Thermostats which fit inline between the cooler and the sandwich.
I cannot find a listing for the Sandwich with the integrated thermostat at this time. Probably a call to Doug Herbert, or Jegs or Summit or Danbury Competition Engines would get you a solution. It is possible that even ERA has these in stock.
Let me know what you find out OK?
