Oil temperature sensor install

[steved0x]

I used a matched vdo sender and gauge, m14x1.5 is the size of the port, search my thread for the part numbers as I don't have them handy on my phone.. You can probably get both from amazon and I used jegs high temp automotive wire, rated for underhood operation, to bring the signal up to my gauges. I ziptied it to the air intake tube and then to the shifter cables and bring it down the center console.

My hot tip for installing the oil pressure sensor, remove the panel behind the seats and that may make it easier to tighten the sender instead of the complex crowfoot wrench solution. You have to take that panel.off anyway to run the wire anyway.

Here's an option / example:

For the location of the senders
- Driver side of the engine block: There's an unused plug that I used for the temp sender
- Passanger side: Use a T to accommodate the existing pressure sender and add the new sender

Hardware example:
- Oil temp/pressure gauges (come with respective senders/sensors) - speedhut dot com
- T - Carquest 81640 (for metric M14 and 1/8 npt) **Your sender may differ.



Bellow is the passenger side of the engine - Pressure gauge senders, existing and new.
