Well, wish the swap wasn't quite so involved or I'd do it right away. My next excuse will be that it's too cold. :)

Attachment 3306
Not a great photo, but mocked it up with a couple of quarts of oil behind it, no leaks at that time. Didn't start/run it, have to take a long trip and not entirely trusting of the seal I'm getting since I don't have a square shoulder on this sender to clamp the gasket good.
Besides, it's the single wire sensor, I want to get a three wire in there. Friend with the lathe is going to be out of town for awhile. Eventually I may just try and see what it looks like on the gauge, but will want the logging capability.
BTW, looked into the original Corvette oil temp sender, at $53 for the cheapies, no thanks. It's 1/4-18 (NPT) threaded, so they DO make 1/2-20 adapters that would just thread in, if someone really wanted to do so. But the oil temp sender is very long and thin, not good for being in the pan long term IMO.
