Hi, all....just wondering....most of us have removed and blocked off the
original oil metering pump....If we were to drill and tap a hole in the
block-off plate, might that be a place to install an oil temp sender?
Thanks.  Paul Conner

Hi Steve;
This is actually a coolant temp sensor location. It is misleading as it is
located so close to the oil passage where the oil pressure sensor is.
There
is an oil temp sensor in the pan, but as you know, we are most interested
in
the temp after the oil cooler as it enters the engine. I don't know if you
have relocated your oil filter (I think you said that you have), but if
you
have then this is an ideal location to install an oil temp sensor.
