Default oil cooler

89 auto. Doing Injector swap with SR install and LPE header install. I feel pretty dumb asking being I've done all of this and can't figure out how to get the oil cooler to move a little so the coolant line don't touch the primaries/ collector. Thanks for any help in advance

To get it to turn, you need to remove the filter and loosen the center piece holding the adapter to the block...

Personally, I'd ditch it but that's just me. The oil/water cooler is pretty restrictive flow wise. I replaced mine with a Canton sandwich adapter and ran lines to a REAL oil cooler up front. Mine is integrated with the Ron Davis radiator...but you could mount one in front of the A/C condenser.
