The  Haynes manual shows a oil level sensor and temperature sensor located in the pan.  The pan I have, has only the sensor which is held in by a 3 bolt flange, which sensor is this.  I can not remove this without removing the engine, so if it is a temp sensor, I assume it probably isn't compatible with my gauge.  Where are you fellows picking up your oil temperature from.  The worst case scenario, I can screw the 14 x 1.5 mm adapter from JC Whitney in the oil plug hole and install the temp sensor in that.  I have the water temp sensor and the oil pressure sensors installed in the holes under the oil filter as in the stock auto installation.
 
One other question.  On the back of the gauges, it appears that the power input posts are marked with an I, does mean power in or does it have another meaning.  JohnD

John,

   Typically, in automotive applications "I" is a switched B+ input ("ignition").
