Hi all, New to site. I'm trying to mount oil pressure and oil temp. sending units on my a/c 1641cc. What is the easiest way to accomplish this...run a tee adapter from oem sender location, or run each from a separate location? Both gauge senders are electrical (Sunpro). Thanks in advance. |

Welcome to the site. The oil temp won't do you much good in the place you get your pressure. That sender needs to be in flowing oil to get a good read. I'd put it in a cooler line somewhere. The pressure sender can be screwed in to the pressure port but I would use that along with the stock sender for the idiot light. If the light comes on, you will notice that before you notice a gauge that is dropping. The light warning tells you to confirm the gauge reading and take appropriate action. That set-up will require the T you mentioned. |

Any particular place in the external oil cooler line...maybe close to where the oil exits the block, or does it really matter on sender location? |
