So I was at the the MN State Fair and the MN State Patrol had some display cars out. Our state patrol hid a 1979 Dodge St. Regis from being sold as it was the 50th anniversary squad. I was talking with the care taker of the squad and he let me give it a good look over (the car is really unmolested). I looked under the hood and was talking to him about all the coolers these squads had. He then stated "yeah even the fuel pump had a cooler, I had to replace the pump with a normal pumps and block off the cooler lines"
I am wondering was there such a thing that mopar put on the cop car engines or did he have it confused with something emissions related?

Yeah that's what I thought, I had never heard of that either. I was thinking it might of been a system to help stranded motorists get gas without having to siphon from the tank. I just wanted to make sure I was correct.

I've seen cop cars with a fuel pump bypass (similar to a vapor separator) but never a fuel cooler.

I think he's slightly mistaken. the oil cooler return line on every cop car I ever worked on was through a special hollow fuel pump bolt. The right hand side (front bolt). This allowed the cooler, returned oil to hit the timing chain on its way back to the pan. It's quite a brilliant design.
So that's what he's probably mentioning. I could be wrong, but there was never any production line fuel cooler. The possibility of a dealer-added on gimmick or cop garage mod is certainly there... but I doubt that. Fuel doesn't heat, and adding a cooler near the engine bay is only going to induce heat soak when idling for long periods of time or leaving the car parked. something cop cars do a lot of
Looking for 1975 through 1978 B body 4 door sedan sheet metal or parts cars - monaco, fury, coronet. Please let me know

Having owned a bunch of Mopar Squad cars, including from that era, I think VincentVega is right. I think the caretaker was confused because of the Mopar Engine Oil Cooler line that runs thru the back bolt to fuel pump.
Facts are stubborn things.
