Where were the mounting points on the 94-97?

I am trying to visualize where it would attach, sorry.

It attaches to the steering rack front mounting bolts and angles up/forward. There are different brackets for different model years. The brackets aren't complicated and it wouldn't be hard to fab something up for other years.

How much does it lower your operating temp?

Any problem with debris hitting it?

Did you replace the factory cooler with this?

Sorry for all the questions

Never put a temp gauge on oil, but most track cars I know are running some sort of oil cooler so I put this on.

Never had an issue with debris. On track a splitter was covering it, but on the street it was exposed for about 1-2k miles.

No factory cooler on my 97.

I have a 94 and just replaced the leaky hose! 3 hour job & $1.85 part. A real PIA!! If you ran the factory splash cover, wouldn't be an issue, then
