Since the list is talking about oil temperature this time of year, I
thought I'd mention that I bought an NOS VDO oil temp sender that
replaces your oil dipstick some time ago on ebay, and have never used
it.  I guess I thought I'd use it as a portble oil temp system when
trying out used car purchases or something really wierd like
that.  Any way.  $20 would buy it and add a few buck for the postman.

I also have somewhere in the shop maybe 6 or 7 VDO oil temp. senders
with pretty long probes on them. I'll have to check the thread pitch
on them, but their uniqueness is they have two male spade ends on
them.  I think the extra one is to turn on an accessory(like a fan)
when the oil gets a certain temp.  The other spade terminal reads the
oil temp.  If anyone's a VDO expert, I could find the part number
somewhere on the items.  I'd let go of them for $10 each.
