HELP - Oil temp sender location
Ì`m going to install an autometer oil temp gauge on my 68 Dart, with a 318 street/strip engine...
Does anyone know where the sender would be installed other than take off and drilling the oil pan??? Is there another way to do it and still get precise readings??? Thanks.. |

I'm sure there are other ways but the sensor tapped into the oil pan is the best IMHO

sensor location
Although the pan would be the best,you could put a tee fitting under the pressure sending unit,that or just tape it to the filter.

If you don't want to pull the pan to drill a hole, simply drill and tap the drainplug.
You'll have to disconnect the wire each time the oil is drained but that's easier than pulling the pan. |

I didn't suggest using the sender for a drain plug, I suggested drilling and tapping the drainplug for a sender. Stewart-Warner recommends this as an alternative to removing the pan.
The drainplug (with the sender in it) is still removed to drain the oil. |
