Oil cooler question?
so my friends and i were parting out his 85 trans am and as i was taking the front bumper off i found an aftermarket tranny cooler. he owed me some money so i took it from him, im thinking of puttign it on my 84 vette. its a decent size cooler too.
Is it worth cutting the lines to install this?
also does it matter which line you connect it between?

Two Summers ago I bought the largest trans. cooler I could find similar to this --

I forgot the brand. I cut the trans. line coming out of the top of the rad. and ran a high temp / pressure line to the cooler and mounted it in front of the A / C condenser.
When I get around to it I'll splice in 2 "T" fittings W / temp sensors - before the rad. and after the cooler, to a digital gauge via a toggle switch.

But ----------- if you do two sensors to one gauge then you would know -------- the temp. going in and out 
Then you could put a humidity sensor on the drivers seat -- if you go to fast into a corner it would go off telling you to slow down / or your having fun

I put one on the return line, on the bottom of the rad.
I put the gauge sender in the pan and mounted it in the center.
I have posted in a few other threads about this, a search will find you more info.
