Your child will learn fewer new words. As to what cooler it is, If it has the part number stamped into the top of the cooler, (near the oil sender), it is a late model cooler and has the 10mm oil passages. If it does not have the part number stamped in it, it is an early one with the 8mm oil passages. Since you are using a T-1 case, do you have the dual oil pressure relief valves, or single relief valve. If I remember correctly, single relief, cases have 8mm passages, and dual relief cases have the 10mm oil passages. >From there, you need to figure the seals you need and whether you need the washers or the adapter seal. -- Russ Wolfe '71 Fastback AT '66 Fastback MT (IT RUNS) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org </x-charset>
