I sure agree to install it in the block.Installing in the hose does not tell you what is going on within the engine untill it is to late and does not give you true temp. readings. This did happen to me and my race engines were all modified for internal temp. readings including exhaust. Take3 it for what it is worth.
THANKS TO ALL THE TMS MEMBERS FOR THERE HELP!!!!

I have a question about the oil cooler on the 302 series cars. I have no idea what thes new snap on hose conections are called and how they work. These are the hoses that snap on to the cooler at the belled tube ends. Thanks

I did not have to remove any hose connections so I also have no idea what they are called or what has to be done to remove them. I just removed the oil cooler which is between the oil filter and the block. Hoses gave me enough room to move it out of the way.

Quick connect hoses are easy as pie to remove and replace. Just push down the gray tabs and pull back. They have o rings to seal inside and when too push down onto the barb fitting the gray collar locks them in place. Used on multiple places on the engine, I have removed and replaced a few times and they hold 28" of vacuum when refilling coolant no leaks.

They sound like quick disconnect fittings on air lines. Good to know Thanks!
