I did the same as Don D. The level sender port is an ideal location for the
temp gauge sender.
Also added a temp gauge to the oil pan of my Atx.

Normal hot oil temps will range from engine to engine and operating
conditions.
I think somewere between 190 to 220 is normal. On cool days I am 180 and in
traffic or if I am getting on the motor I have seen as high as 250. Under
race conditions I have seen as high as 260 .. 270.
For those temps u only want synthetic oil.
Regarding the low oil temp sensor ... Thats the ideal location for it. What
i do is disconnect the sending unit ( disconnected your low oil light will
remain off. ) and remove the 26 mm bolt that houses the sending unit.
You than take the sender to a machine shop and have them cut off the top
part as far down as u can with out affecting the structure integrity and
than have them tap and thread for your brass sending unit adapter.
I have done this on both of my SUPER SHO's
