Where Do i Drill And Tap to Put These 2 Sensors (Water & Oil Temp)

[bo0st]

Well my mechanic cancelled on me at the last minute , so it looks like I'm stuck putting in these gauges by myself.

I have a volt gauge, a water temp & an oil temp that I'm looking to install in my 98 N/T (420a motor)

I want the stock temp gauge to continue to work, so I would assume I would have to "drill and tap" as they say is this correct?

If so, where do I drill and tap and are there any tutorials to doing this? I don't want to mess up my motor.

I tried searching extensively before posting this thread but I didn't get lucky.


Could I put the oil temp in my oil pan?

Yes, Oil temperature sensor goes at on the Oil Pan.

The Water Temperature Sensor goes at the Thermostat Housing.

You can use sandwitch adapters for both as well instead of "drill and tap".

This will work on a N/T ?
