oil temp gauge

[slow4G63]

Been searching the forum and still haven't found a good answer to this... over the weekend I installed my boost gauge and a/f gauge. I still need to install my oil temp gauge but not quite sure where to put the probe at. There's about a probe like 4-5 inches that's actually a thermometer. Is there a spot on the motor where i can just take a screw/plug out and screw this one in?

anyone have pics of this spot?

I've looked in my haynes manual, but no luck.

thanks...

put it in the oil filter housing. remove one of the hex-plugs. the thread is 3/8" NPT, get some adapters for your sender, i'm assuming the thread is 1/8" NPT

I havent done that mod, but I have heard of drilling/tapping a small hole in the oil pan sump. Wouldnt that be possible also?

Yes, but kind of a lot of fuss if you don't need to do it that way.
