Yes - "The plug above the oil filter mount goes into the main oil gallery; you will be reading the temp of the oil after it has returned from the filter and coolers. You need to see about 180 in this location."

If you wanna get fancy, you can wire a temp sensor above the oil filter pad(after cooler) and another one say at the filter head(before cooler, if plumbed that way). Run the sender wires from both senders to a toggle selector switch, then one wire to your temp gauge. This way you can check oil temp before and after the cooler by flipping a switch.
