Oil Temperature Sender Install

What size drill bit and tap is needed to install the Autometer Oil Temp sender in the plate just above the oil filter?

Thanks
Bryan

Hey Par would i be able to use a 04 LS6 type sender on my 98z and just run a wire from the sender to a gauge? because i got complete 04 ls6 z06 oil pan.

I would think so. As long as you can thread that sender in there it will work.
By the way, in case anyone is interested the drill bit was 21/64" and the tap was 3/8" NPT. I'm pretty sure a 11/32" bit would work too but I spent an extra $3 to buy a cheap 21/64". Made for a very joint.

It seems like it takes a while to warm up. I took a drive today and it stayed at 185-190 for a while then went up to about 210-215. It was pretty hot here today, so not sure if that makes a big difference of not with oil temp.
