I need to get my /6 3.0L oil cooler modified with an AN or NTP fitting. Being that my oil tank is NPT - I would think that putting a 1" NPT fitting on the oil cooler is the way to go. But I see some people say they used -16 AN.
Does it really matter what type of fitting to use for this application? Thanks. |

I've seen hose fittings on a 911 cooler come off at the track
the threaded fitting is safer the motor looses oil pressure pretty quick when the oil hose is off... that being said many many cars survive with barb fittings. but having seen one fail in person its not something I'm comfortable with. |
