The oil cooler on 34 Eights and Super Eights is a LARGE casting attached to the front of the water jacket plate (driver's side of the engine). Immediately beneath it is the Purolator L-6 full-flow oil filter. Oil flows thru the core in one direction, water from the cooling system in the other to keep the oil warm in very cold weather, and cooler in very warm conditions.

The '34 oil cooler was problematic and with the availability of multi-viscosity oils a few years later, isn't an essential part of your engine though the oil flow much be keep intact. Some folks have removed the cooler completely, reverting to a 1933 configuration. Others like myself have kept it externally correct but replace the core inside with a shunt tube. 1935 thru 39 oil coolers were a very different design and quite trouble-free. To find it just follow the lower radiator hose.

There is no reservoir for the wipers, instead they get supplied by vacuum at times of hard acceleration via the vacuum pump section of the fuel pump. The vacuum lines are very easy to follow, start with the primary take-off on the intake manifold (near the automatic choke) and just follow the lines - it will branch to the booster pump, the power brake cylinder under the seat, the power brake adjust valve on the cowl, the Bijur oiler (glass jar), and the wipers.
