While were on this subject. I picked one up from summit, now I need to know the oil flow direction for a 502 Mag MPI??? After looking at the directions on the oil Stat, Theres a diagram on how to plumb it in line. Are there arrows on the remote filter housing showing the flow direction???
Thanks

Heres how I plumbed mine. The hose on the far right is oil going out from the block adaptor to the filter. The return from the filter loops down to the bottom right on the thermostat. I used a pipe nipple to connect the thermostat to the return port on the block adaptor.

It's exactly what I was looking for. I can't remeber what oso'r told me about it..
One thing to watch for. I think it is only made to fit a gen 4 block. I have it mounted to a gen 6 and had to take a little material off of the center part so that it would tighten before bottoming out. No big deal.

1500,
What's a "cruiser type" boat? What is the line between the flow capabilities of a Perma Cool and a more macho KE type unit?
What would be wrong with 2, count 'em, 2 PCools in parallel for $70 instead of the gaddawful $450 KE mother...

You might try www.cvproducts.com
They have an inline oil thermostat that looks familiar with a choice of 190 or 215* thermostats. They have a lot of other neat stuff ment for cars racers that will work great on a boat. They are trying to lear to speak "boat", but they are very polite and helpful. They also are much CHEAPER.
