No, it's a fine place for the pressure gauge, but a bad place for the
*temparature* gauge...

I don't see how they could use a temperature gauge in a "tee" setup at
the location of the stock oil pressure sender.  I really doubt that they
have a sensor extending down through the tee into the journal, which
would be the only way to get an accurate reading.  Otherwise, you would
be getting the temparature of the (stagnant) oil in the tee, which would
likely be a lot cooler.  I suppose it would be better than no temp gauge at
all, though...

I hope they aren't asking much for it.  I got a similar thing from Car-Quest
for something under $10... chrome with three gauge holes, mounts at the
top to the bottom of the dash.
