Thread: SBC oil temperature sender (where can I buy an adapter)

Tweet

this is a oil cooler adapt. he might could rig up if he wanted to. this fits a 350 and this one J.C. Whitney has it, other wise i think he'll have to pull the pan.

Thanks Mike.

Regarding the oil cooler adapter, he cannot use one that diverts the oil thru the cooler and returns it to the filter because he will be blocking off the flow of oil by screwing the temp sender into either the inlet or outlet ports. IF the adapter diverts only part of the flow, it might work. Also, he has to put the sender in the output side.

Isnt there a plug just above the oil filter boss that is into an oil port?.....but that's not a place to measure pan oil temp.

By the way, why does he need to measure oil temp? It's only something else for him to worry about. He can use Mobil 1 or some other high temp oil and quit worrying.

i guess you are right, but i was thinking that it would be more like using a filter by pass set up without the by pass filter hooked up. i'm thinking a filter will screw to the bottom of that adapt. if it want it cant work. i wouldn't put it there anyway, just an idea.
