Bob-
I do have the remote filter. I'm not sure which hoses I can reuse without cutting and which will need to be shortened. I hope I can use the ones coming to/from the cooler without alteration, and just make new hoses for the rest of the hook ups. But until I get the t-stat, I'm having a hard time "visualizing" how it will have to be set up.

As for location, I was thinking about mounting it on the driver's side inner fender well- maybe an inch or two up and behind the upper control arm. Not sure yet if this spot will work, need to measure- but it's too damn cold in the garage If you figure out a better spot, please let me know.

Joe-
2 reasons for the Canton. You got the first one. From everything I've read it seems like you want the oil to get up around 200-210 so all moisture and other contaminants are burned off.

And the second reason is that I have a remote filter and I haven't found a sandwich type block adapter that has a t-stat in it that will allow me to use the remote filter. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
