T56 Magnum - temp sensor location?
I currently run a Delphi 12160855 oil temp sensor which I have configured in my Holley EFI. I wish to utilize the same sensor for monitoring the temperature of my T56 Magnum during track sessions.
The sensor probe protrudes only 0.55" past the 1/8 NPT threads. Where is everyone putting their temp sensors on their Magnums? I think the fill hole is 3/4 NPT, is that where people are putting them with adapters? Would it even get enough oil splash to be accurate there?
I don't have my Magnum out of my car to look over at the moment so I thought I would ask.
Thanks!http://www.TheFOAT.com/92GTA

I would put it in the drain. Pretty sure both the fill and the drain holes are 1/2" NPT.

Cool, thanks. Looks like I'll pick up this aluminum 1/2 NPT to 1/8 NPT reducer and swap it at my next fluid change...

I presume you mean in the Holley, not physically. Here is a really old thread about it on Holley's forums:
