Oil cooler

[PeterCoupe]

Hi
Thanks to all regarding advice for carbs.

I have another two questions;

1. I want to install oil cooler, who sells all I need in one place, take off plate, hoses, cooler,? can I use second hand from VX ?

2. I need to upgrade from points, for few reasons, what is best option mapped ignition????? and which brand, GCT sells Weber but for £620, what are other opption?

Hmm, so many question marks :D

A VX oil cooler and all take offs/plumbing should fit OK (I fitted a VX item to a Spyder I had many moons ago and it went on OK).

You don't have to use mapped ignition..... you could think about a later Bosch dizzy (and/or Marelli) unit which would make life simpler and cheaper.... it's a suggestion anyway.

Fully mapped must be the way to go though and Emerald did a very good system which a pal used on his Westfield with a Vulcan tuned Kent engine. Not my field of expertise though....... :?

Buy a new one (Mocal etc). That way you KNOW it's not full of shit from a blown engine !!

I still need take off plate with all attachements or just take off plate, I will change hoses. Cooler in itself is not problem.

Any offer out there....

Mocal do a sandwhich plate - goes between the oil filter and the mounting block. Used one on my Montecarlo for the mrk one engine .. . is there not space for one ??

How thick is that sendwich plate, as is, standard Coupe have very little space to remove oil filter. I would say I have less then 1cm of space for that plate if I use standard oil filter.

There are some other oil filters that are smaller then standard (Ferrari part) but they are not available in Australia any more.

I know the "proper" vx oil filter is shorter - and I did have a vx sandwhich block kicking around (sold now . . ). From memory, I don't think it was a lot different that the Mocal one. I can measure the Mocal one up - if anyone out there wants to measure a vx one for a comparison ?? !!

Otherwise - you could try a oil take off plate and a remote filter - but it will cost more !!!

Use the mocal sandwich block with a Fram PH-16 filter
