Is there a possiblity that the stock oil temp sensor would drive an 
aftermarket guage?  After all a lot of the guages are made by VDO, maybe 
their aftermarket stuff migh work.

BTW I have an engine that does not have an oil temp guage on it.  It 
just has a funky bolt (technical term) in the sensors place.
