ok, I'm putting some autometer gauges on my 83 GS (12a) project car, or will be at least. Anway, one will be a oil temp gauge. My question is what does the sender look like, and where can I put it? I would think the oil pan, but I just wanna confirm this. Ok, guess thats just one question, but whatever

for oil temp, I used the RB block. I havent seen one in the oil pan. Im curious also to see if anyone has done it But again, anything is possible.

 

oh ****, I forgot all about that block, I'll have to look into that again, thanks.

 

I was planning to get one of these. http://www.speedmachineperformance.c...il?v=1&pid=432

But I may be to late, they are showing only two left.

 

Just checked RB's site and found it. Looks nice and easy, definatly buying one.

I put my oil temp sender in the pan, in place of the level sender.

 

My sender is also in the pan. My question to those puting the sender someplace other than the pan (& presume you only have one sender/gauge) don't you have concerns about the actual oil temp at it's hot point which is in the pan ? In my mind at the bottom of the oil filter the oil has been cooled & you could be running temps of 250* in the pan.

Curious ; )
