I've got a oil cooler. The lines get in the way of installing my ORD steering box support bracket. I destroyed them today removing them. I'll just use the ports to run a second oil filter. I'd like to move my oil filter as well. That way they can both be together. Does anybody know which adapter works best. They are all over the place as far as cost. I'd like to stay away from using hose clamps too. I'll just get some new lines made if I have to.

Good idea. Pay the extra for AN lines.
You might consider an engine oil thermostat too. Mind you, perhaps living in Fresno you don't have cold winters.

Thanks dude! I don't know how that slipped my mind.:suicide:
If they all do the same thing, what's with the $ differential. I don't mind paying more if the product demands it.
Take a close look at some of them, some have provisions for coolers and t-stats and ****, and most of the high dollar ones are C&C billet anodized aluminum made for heavy duty racing applications, WAYYY overkill street use, Trans-Dapt remotes are more than adequate for general use..
