[Shotimes] Oil temp gauge

[Mark Nunnally]

I think the best place would be coming off the oil cooler/heat exchanger,
this is what goes the bearings I believe.  I seem to have Gary M's oil temp
sender notes around somewhere, but would have to dig them up.  I believe he
mounted his behind the carrier plate behind the clutch.

In the meanwhile, I T'd mine off the pressure outlet, and the temps I get on
the track stabilize out to the same water temps, (both around 210-215).  So
the heat exchanger obviously works, and the temps at the switch area may not
be that far off, even if it's a "dead end" area for the oil.

What would be interesting, would be to put a stock grill back on my 89
(instead of the police) and stick the stock rad back in (instead of the 2")
and see what the water temp goes to, AND the oil temp.

The tranny gauge is the fun one to watch, 3-4 hot laps and that bad boy is
pointing due east <g>
