I need to mount my senders for my oil pressure and coolant temp autometer sport comp II gauges. Looking for an easy way to do it. I would rather not drill and tap anything on the engine but will if its an easier solution. I dont know how anyone uses the stock oil pressure sender unit.. I deff cant reach it.

Give me some ideas. I am really looking for total solutions with part numbers so I can get this done today but even some tips would be great.


Thanks,
Josh

Passenger side head for coolant and drill out the plate above the oil filter or put a tee on the stock sender area

Do you know the part number of the adaptor that allows the sender to screw right into the freeze plug on the passenger side head?

I need to find that plate again that goes above the filter.. Right now I have a bell looking thing that I believe is a sender... but for another type of oil pressure/temp gauge.

Thanks

problem solved


LS1 Oil Pressure Sender Adapter


LS1 Water Temperature Sender Adapter

You're the man! I honestly couldent even see the location of the stock oil pressure sender though. How hard was it to access for you guys?

Its supposedly behind the block on the drivers side right?? My engine seems to be mounted too close to the firewall to get back there. I have grannys mounts on the rear mounting location.

It'll fit it just close. Lots of guys mount their factory senders here using an addtional 45 degree connector.



Sender is gold and shown just below the firewall lip.

Isnt that exactly where the map sensor is?

If I had known it was back there before putting the engine in, I'm sure it would be cake to get to but now that the intake is in place and everything is hooked up its a little tougher. I'll try to find it. I already ordered both adapters from speedway just in case but if I cant get to it I'll just tap that plate above the oil filter. I just need to find the plate in my garage somewhere.. .because right now I have bell looking sender there that the last person was using for whatever gauge that bolts in place of the plate.

Pop the intake off, and "BAM!!" its right there. Its not hard to get too.

No conflict with the map sensor, this is off center on the block. Oh and the above pic is Grannies on the rear holes so this is about as close to the firewall as any setup I know of.
