Ron: I have one of these oil coolers, got mine from JC Whitney like you did. On my '73 Z1-900, I replaced my Lockhart #700 oil cooler (the biggest Lockhart made in the late 1970s) with one of these. The result? I dropped running old temperature 30 degrees over the Lockhart. Pretty good oil cooler I'd say.

This exact oil cooler is sold as part of a kit for old air-cooled VW Beetles, by the way. You can see this oil cooler in such kits in VW magazine ads today.
