What I'm looking for is the temperature sender that will fit where the current oil pressure switch adapter is.  I've already moved the pressure switch from between the pushrod tubes for the pressure sender.  I have a temperature sender in oil drain plug.  I thought it would just be cleaner to move the temp sender from the bottom of the engine to the rear.  Keeps a wire from hanging down.  Out of the weather, etc.  I guess I'll just measure when the engine is out. 

Thanks, BobC
