Paul,
The preferred location to measure oil temp is after the oil cooler, before the oil enters the block. But if you're trying to measure oil temp after it goes through the engine, I would weld a fitting into the oil pan and measure it there. Personal preference.

Hi, all....just wondering....most of us have removed and blocked off the

block-off plate, might that be a place to install an oil temp sender?
Thanks. Paul Conner
