fb oil cooler question
#1
Looking to replace my oil cooler on my 82 fb. I have a line on a used cooler out of a 79 or one off of a 85 fb. Will these coolers fit a 82? I think they will but want to check before I buy one of the mentioned used coolers.

79-82 are all the same
the 83-85 12a's have a crappy water to oil one
and the 84-85 gsl-se cars have a nice one, but its a little different from the 79-82 one, and you'd have to get different lines and make some simple mounts, as its in front of the radiator

i used a FD oil filter stand, had some oil lines made to fit and aftermarket oil cooler. i did this very cheap. and i think it works and looks great!
heres where i mounted the cooler with zip ties...lol
and a shot of the oil cooler lines, steel braided half inch lines. -8 if ordering the lines and fittings.

if your looking to do something fun and very nice, try the SA double setup. get a sheet of cheap sheet metal and make a new air guide to the rad. Run to a junk yard pull 2 oil coolers from 2 SA's. place them in front of the rad. on top of each other and pipe a connecting line and to longer return lines. better oil cooling, AND the added benefit of lower lift on the car.
