With the sending unit that came with my autometer gauge I pulled off the cap right above the oil filter (two 10mm bolts) and drilled through the round indentation at the top of it. I then tapped that driilled hole for a 1/8npt thread and screwed the sending unit right into that. Install the cap back in its place and run your wire to the sending unit and your done.

DopeFedZ, do you have longtubes and did the sender clear the headers with any 45* elbows or anything else? Thanks.
