I've read a few posts that suggest that their are companies that make an oil temperature sending unit that would replace the stock oil drain bolt, but I've searched and cant find anything. Does anyone know where I could get such a thing?

BTW, it would be used on a D-series pan and a VDO Vision Series 2-1/16" Oil Temp gauge. Thanks for any help!

I'd be worried about ground clearance if the car's lowered

Yeah i suppose this could be an issue, but I haven't seen the product yet! Maybe it only sticks out .25".... I dunno


Anyone..?

I doubt its any smaller than a stock oil sending unit, which is about an inch, if so, that wouldn't be to bad, or you can just use a brass T-fitting and hook it up to the stock location like mines.

it is easy to replace the oil temp unit..by the electric oil temp gauge from autometer..it comes with a oil temp sending unit that you have to use..

Where does it install? All the ones I've seen have a huge NPT fitting. That's why i'm interested in finding the one that replaces the oil drain plug.
