I'm looking for an aftermarket oil temp sender that is compatible with the factory oil temp gauge. Ideally operating over the same range to give similar readings on the analogue gauge.
Why? I've recently pieced together the motor (rb26) deleting the factory oil cooler, filter housing, etc. replacing it with an RB20 item with aftermarket relocation/cooler kit. The factory oil pressure sender fitted into a port on the block which worked out sweet. There is however no spare metric holes for the oil temp sender. The aftermarket filter relocation and cooler kit I got has provision for a 1/8 NPT or similar sensor of some sort, therefore I'm looking for something plug and play I can hook up so I get an indication in the cabin
What have others done to address this
Thanks
