Eddie, mine is in the rear of my dooley 14qt pan and it runs about 300*. I guess I should add another one but, my oil cooler lines come off the two fitting above the oil fliter. Where else could i put one?

I'm confused on the oil routing on a stock 502 MPI, gen 5. I don't know if the oil that comes out of the block filter adapter goes through the remote oil filter first, or the oil cooler first? My engine is actually a gen 6 block, but with gen 5 accessories.

Someone had an interesting idea of using 2 senders - one before the cooler and one somewhere after, and then using a toggle switch to route both senders to the same gauge. With the flip of a switch, you can instantly see the temp before and after the cooler without taking up more space on your dash.
Mine is in the pan. I doubt if it makes a huge difference as long as it is exposed to a good flow of oil. You are really just watching out for an unusual spike in temperature - which would indicate that something is wrong. Once you get things dialed in, oil temps should stay pretty consistent.

My 502mpi gen6 goes from the block adapter to the remote oil filter and then the cooler.

Ok, so the side outlet of the block adapter is the output, goes up to the remote filter, outputs to the cooler, then back into the center fitting of the block adapter........ correct?
