OIL temp sender location

I'm putting mine in the drain plug hole on my next build.

Man that’s a great idea....I can’t now as I already have the mag-x sump plate☹️

Good stuff in this thread Curious, is there any difference in mounting the sender under the distributor, at the end of the oil galley which carries oil past the stock sender and using the stock sender location? They almost seem like one in the same.

I like the idea of using either the sump plate or on new, universal cases the type 3 dipstock location. On my CB Aluminum case I have the option to use any of these locations except under the distrubutor since my case isn't drilled and tapped at that location. On my TF1 case it has that location as well as many others drilled and tapped so perhaps under the distributor will be an option when I get around to building either a turbo 2276 or NA 2387 around that case in the future.

Right now on my dinky engines (big bore 40hp and WW Okrasa 36hp) I am limited to using the oil relief port, which seems to work okay.

67 Sunroof thanks for this thread and good luck and keep us posted on your build.

Would the top of the oil filter be a better place than where I had first considered?

I’m not sure the thread size and pitch of the initial place I thought about.
What about the oil pressure sender?

I was going to drill and tap the top of my Canton filter to be able to screw in the oil temp sensor...sound good?

These are also an easy option. They are meant for mechanical gauges, so you might need to strip and anodizing off, or run a separate ground wire for an electric sender. You just need to make sure the tip of the sending unit doesn't poke way down into the fitting and block the oil flow. These work best with pressure senders, and the temp sender in the filter base.

-8an gauge adapter. Summit has lots of different styles.

How about in that plug just to the right of the oil pump. I've read on here that this is an ideal spot. Of course you have to tap the hole & buy an1/2" to 1/8" reducer.

Use a dual-out/in filter mount, and slip a sender in each of the unused ports- easy peasy-
