Turn off caps locks. It's annoying to read.
An adapter at the oil filter is the most common place to attach a cooler. Something like this:

Like I said in the first post I have a stock oil cooler set up I am going to hook up in the car. I know where it hooks up to he oil filter at. What I need to know is after it's hooked up at the filter and the stock steel lines run around the oil pan, where do you hook the rubber lines to????? The radiator the heater core???? Any one know.

MINE HAS ONE COOLANT LINE FEEDING THE COOLER OUT OF THE BLOCK AND RETURNING IT BACK IN THE HEATER RETURN LINE. SOME YEARS MAY BE DIFFERENT. BASICALLY ONE COOLANT LINE IN, ONE LINE OUT.
All caps is very annoying!!

The metal oil cooler line nearest the front of the car goes via rubber hose to the radiator just below the filler cap.
The other metal line goes via rubber hose to a metal and then rubber hose that connects onto the heater core. That same metal line also branches off to a plastic control valve that's got a vaccum line on it. I think it's a heater control valve (near the front of the engine, passinger side).
