HELP, need a location to tap into for oil temp gauge

[Huw Powell]

> I have added the three gauge suite from a coupe/4000 into my '84 4KQ, with some creative uses of the Dremel, of course.   I have tapped into a good power source that is active only when the ignition is on.  I have also tapped into the instrument light circuit with no problems.  This is my current status:
> 3.  Oil temp - I have no idea where to tap into for this.  A few people said there was a place somewhere around the oil pump but I sure could not see anything there.  Maybe it was an 85-87 thang.  Since I am planning to scavenge next weekend, is there a sending unit on another model than an '84 that has what I need and can use?

the oil temp sender screws right into the bottom of the oil pump, where
it can most effectively protect the right underside of the car from rust
while it leaks.

yours should simply have a bolt/plug type thing screwed in there.

Donors can be scavenged the same place you got your gauge - redundant
coupes GT, etc.
