Oh, I forgot to include earlier that only the doghouse style T1 cooler is
identical to the one in my 73 T3, the old non doghouse style coolers from
the T1 is way different! The doghouse style is identical to the late T3,
only difference is the tapping for the pressure sender. If the cooler stands
upright or is horizontal does not matter, as it is pressurized. The only
thing that matter is that it is mounted correctly concerning the airflow.
