Not sure if you have any AN fittings but every AN manufacturer makes these in a variety of sizes

I used to use one :

I believe that is exactly what I'm looking for. In my application it goes in the line from the block to the cooler? Thanks for the link.

Anywhere you have flowing oil will be good enough

ICDEDPPL, Just to be clear, this flowing oil should be before the cooler correct? My plan is right off the block to the cooler, to the oil filter, back to the block. I think ALLDODGE has his on the remote oil filter location but for my setup that is going to give me a reading that won't tell me the real temp the oil is getting to. BTW, sorry I said that I thought you seemed like an angry person in a different post

You will get varying opinions on where to put the oil temp sensors. I'm in the camp that likes to see what the oil temp is coming out of the engine, pre cooler.

Thanks. That was my thought but wanted to make sure, I have made too many mistakes in the past couple days.

nevermind

ICDEDPPL, I did order my fittings for the temp sending unit. Had to go to a different company as your source didn't have that fitting in -10. Thanks again for the pic and help.

100% agree with above. Also, my understanding about reading plugs is that you need to run the engine medium/hard and then relatively quickly shut it down to read the plug accurately. I am sure I will be corrected if wrong but I understood that even idling to the dock to shut down will influence the plug read.

I think I may have bought 2 items that don't work together. The sensor doesn't really tighten up it just bottoms out in the fitting. Also there's about a 70% blockage when the sensor is installed into the fitting. Is this ok?
