MikeZcar Posted August 19, 2005 Share #1 Posted August 19, 2005 OK I am asking a group of car folks "where to stick it?" My 70 was a work in progress, part of that was aftermarket water and oil temp and oil pressure guages. The oil temp probe(1/4" x 3" approx.) needs a home. Is there a logical place for the probe? Should I add a plumbing nightmare around the factory oil pressure fitting (mechanical oil pressure and the temp probe) hole? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisA Posted August 19, 2005 Share #2 Posted August 19, 2005 Hi Mike, My own experience is that it should be in the oil pan. Need a weld in bung fitting to match your temp sender. I've seen them at Jegs and Summit and other speed shops. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeZcar Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share #3 Posted August 19, 2005 Looked like the lower portion of the pan was best, sure hate to pull it. Thanks,, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted August 20, 2005 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2005 What Chris said ^Best at the back of the sump, less likely to get caught on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Gen Z Posted August 20, 2005 Share #5 Posted August 20, 2005 Stock turbo oil pans have the probe in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
