Oil Cooler Adaptor Modification

Watch is Bruce....with all those sending oil temps to look at you may get pulled over by the police for distracted driving.

Ron.....Ha Ha ....thank you for the humor ! i actually had a guy on the fwy yell at me and ask what I was doing when I had the two manometers hanging on my windshield frame and the tubes going out and into the wheel well !   Glad it wasn't a Cop !   If I get asked again maybe I'll say it's an anal thermanometer? Anyway...thanks for a good laugh.....Bruce

Yell "FLUX CAPACITOR, BITCHES! Hey, what year is it right now?"

Gotta say, I really like the info/insight you're providing for us here.  Imagine what we'd accomplish if we had access to a wind tunnel...!!  We could get underneath and SEE where air flows (and doesn't flow), test airflow/cooling behind other vehicles vs. clean air....etc.

I'm almost considering a 3D printer to make a scaled model of [our] cars and putting it in front of a fan..........

I love this line:

Yell "FLUX CAPACITOR, BITCHES! Hey, what year is it right now?"

....and if they yell back, "That sure doesn't look like a Flux Capacitor!" Marty Bruce can yell back, "It's for an air cooled engine!"

A wind tunnel would be so cool!! I wonder if you COULD build a scale model wind tunnel ? You know...with a fan in the end of some 24" HVAC duct and some directional/stabilization vanes to control/direct the air flow ? Also a very accurate food scale to measure the down force of the wind over the body ? Mirrors on the floor to watch the smoke flow underneath ? And a bunch of GoPRO cameras ?

Come to think of it, I would like to get an air speed meter. One that measures air speed and CFM. I think A/C guys use them but I don't know what speed and volume they're rated for. Anyone have any sources?.  I really like my new temp monitor instrument. Accurate too. It's from DATAQ Instruments in Ohio, Model # EL-WiFi-tp.......Bruce

Very innovative, Bruce. I'm looking forward to seeing the data you come up with.

And Ash, you've provided me with the laugh of the day! This after I dropped my keys in the elevator door gap. Fortunately there was a guy from the elevator company in the neighborhood...

HAHA or "Wait'll "Back to the Future IV" releases in 2 years, you'll see the new Flux Capacitor...!  Oh, and bet on the Maple Leafs for the Cup. Thank me later."

And Bruce......I think I've planted a seed

Leo DiCaprio might call this "Inception"...!

ALB - I've always wondered what the bottom of an elly shaft looks like....are there really spikes down there?!  lol

Huge big ones!!!

Back to the original topic- I've seen the oil filter mount drilled and tapped for a temperature sensor as well.

Years ago, some bicyclists on a very low budget wanted some wind tunnel time but couildn't afford it.

They improvised.

Living in Colorado, they bought an old school bus, cut off the windshield and front cowl, cut off the rear end of the bus, set up a bike (with rider) stationary in the middle and put a person back there with smoke trails and cameras.  Once that was all set up, they simply drove the bus along a highway at whatever speed they wanted to measure.

You could set up whatever measuring devices you wanted and they would be right in front of you because the bike (or speedster) doesn't move, the entire tunnel does.

Food for thought.........Kinda like "Cheap Eats", the Alton Brown way.....

Colorado?  More like Cheech and Chong "Up in Smoke"

I've had it hidden for years @ Merklin Motor Works !
