I am fitting a quad panel of vintage Smith's gauges under the parcel shelf on
the 100 -- ammeter, voltmeter, vacuum gauge and an electric temperature gauge.
I've worked out most of the layout, but have gotten differing advice on the
temperature gauge.

I have a new 1/8" x 27 nptf temperature sender to place. The alternatives are
(1) brazing in a bulkead adaptor (readily available) into the oil pan to
monitor oil temp; (2) fitting it into the head directly for a better read on
water.

What are the pro's and cons? Would oil temperature be as good an indicator of
overheating?
